Hello, Missing Lincs, All the genealogy mailing lists seem to be a little slow right now. I suspect that you are all basking in the summer sun trying to get that "nut brown" color my Mum liked so much. But I have an odd request. Got any Emmas in your Lincolnshire tree? Yes, first name EMMA, not last. I've got two, born about 150 years apart and both down near London. It's not a common firstname in England and if you know the origin you can share that with us as well. OK, put the cold beer down and give your tree a look-see. Lou (list admin.)

Well I have 26 Emma's including 4 where it is a second name. According to Wikipedia it is derived from the Germanic word ermen meaning whole or universal, and was originally a short form of Germanic names that began with ermen.

Hi Lou, My great grandmother was Emma Clarke, born about 1850 in Lawford, Essex. She married great grandad Richard Love in Grimsby, 31st December 1872. My great aunt was baptised Rose Emma Love 26th March 1878 in Grimsby.
