For John PARTINGTON (who helped me back in 2002) and anyone else with an interest in the LIMBRICK family….. For some years I have being trying to track down the Emma J ….. who was living with Henry J WATTS, as his wife, on the 1881 census at Langley Marish Bucks. Emma J had a birth year of 1849 at Westerleigh, GLS. The only lady who fitted this description on the 1851 census was Emma J LIMBRICK but a marriage between the 2 of them has not been found. Henry WATTS died 23 Nov 1891 in Hastings. Death Certificate, Hastings Reg district 2b 13 No 449, 23 Nov 1891 Henry WATTS 61 of independent means, Angina pectoris ? days. Notified by Emma J WATTS widow 166 Harold Rd Clive Vale Hastings 24th Nov 1891. The Hastings cemetery records supplied the following:: “Henry WATTS, a Gentleman aged 61 was interred on 27th November 1891 in Grave Division E, Section F, Row D, No 24. The grave was purchased by ? WATTS of Lorne Villas, Harold Road, Hastings. On 7th September 1892 Grave Division E, Section F, Row D, No 23 was purchased by Emma Jane WATTS of 166 Harold Road, Hastings.. Interred in this grave are George William WINSHIP - 5th August 1925 and Emma Jane WINSHIP - 22nd August 1925. The headstone on these adjoining graves is a marble cross on three bases with curbs 9 ft X 9 ft” This information led to the discovery of a marriage between Emma and George WINSHIP: and the confirmation that Emma was, in fact Emma J LIMBRICK!! Marriage Certificate, No 145 All Saints, Hastings, 2nd June 1913 after Banns, George William Robert WINSHIP of full age, Widower, Auctioneer & Valuer of Barton-on-Humber, father Robert WINSHIP (deceased), Gentleman married Emma Jane WATTS of full age, Widow of 166 Harold Road, father Richard LIMBRICK (deceased) Yeoman. Witnesses: Percy George Leonard Campion WINSHIP and William Ross RAE. Emma’s father, Richard LIMBRICK, was born in Hawkesbury about 1818. The moral of this tale is, never give up! Cheers Carole PS, I omitted to mention that Henry WATTS’ first (?only) wife, Elizabeth, outlived him and died in October 1896, she is described as the Widow of Henry WATTS of independent means! Drat!! This is another little puzzle to solve! . -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.322 / Virus Database: 266.11.17 - Release Date: 25/05/2005
