Marie Cleste thanks for this info yes I see Jane s father was at the wedding of Charles Frederick Parents interesting so so amazing the English records. so appreciate all your work Irene Howard Re Jane Pollard nee Emans

Marie Celeste thank you for your reply yes I think you are right there is no more to find out I think all I really want its a photo of her but realise that is out of the question and due to you and Reggie I think my tree is almost complete maybe a Emans or Pollard relation will contact me. I have been in contact with Tess who started the research. Irene Pollard re Jane Pollard nee Emans. We exchanged some photos of Sydney Ratcliffe Pollard and Alice and my Father Richard Lister Pollard and her Grandfather Hilary Pollard Have a good day. :-) :-)

Irene - what do you mean by "find out more" of Jane? Apart from the birth, marriage, census and death I don't know what else there is to find?

Before I start looking for stuff about her side of the family what do you already have?

Yes this is correct Frances nee Crispe was Mother of Charles Frederick Pollard is there any way we can find out more of Jane Pollard nee Emans I see they lived at 326 Strand tnx so much Irene :-) :-) :-)

Again, I can't verify if this is the correct Frances who was the mother of Charles Frederick et al

Maybe I was wrong when I said we'd exhausted the parish records for Blemell Pollards!

Here's an RBP who was a master of a hospital

There was a Blemell Pollard a curate in 1736:

Could this be the marriage for the parents of the RBP baptised in October 1752?

If so, they cut it a bit fine, him being clergy too!

Shame there's no location given.

This must be right, though, as the grandfather of RBP born 1752 was named as Turner on the 1764 will.

Looks like the chap who died 1764, who's will index I posted, was in the clergy:

RBP is also mentioned briefly in several articles when a day boarder at his school died of natural causes in 1840.

This must be the marriage of Charles Frederick's parents:

The witnesses were Jos Ashmore and Peter Emans

The latter must surely be Jane's father?

Interesting that a Pollard married an Emans many years after this:

It would be this death, I think:

Burial Date: 16 Jan 1864
Age: 80

I strongly suspect he may be the son of the RBP born 1753 mentioned above.
