Find Ancestors

I am trying to find my great grandmother Emily Eagleton. She was born in 1874 , in Winslow, bucks. She had three children by Henry Martin born 1868. Their names were WAlter L born 1894, Frederick M born1901 and Harry M born 1987, who is my grandfather. They all were in and out of the workhouse for their childhood. They went to Hanwell School. Emily did not marry Henry.i would appreciate any help that you can give me.

Regards. Lesley

I like the way Henry is honest !!!

Could this be Emily in the 1881 census with her parents and siblings? (perhaps she lied to Harry about her age as she was older than him :-

I can't find a birth for her but perhaps it was never registered because there were no penalties for not registering until 1875.
