	I did check the image of the 1901 ............ and Eva was what was written. Although ............... it could just possibly be seen as Ema definitely not Emma Age is written as 57 and name of birth place looks like Wormershall, Buckinghamshire .................... which is very close to the Worminghall on the 1891 for Emma .......................... Possibility????? enumerator "heard" Emma as Eva??????????????

Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 17,743 Send Message	There are Can you check the census image in 1901 to see if Eva is Emma and if her age is correct We know how these enumerators like obscure ages with their lines On the 1911 census there is an Emma Collett born 1837 and living in Bicester Lots of Colletts living there
