Isabella Idle 2 Mo
Mary Ann Idle 30

Thomas Idle 6
Emma Micklefield 19
James Micklefield 52 Does look like James!
James Micklefield 13
Joseph Micklefield 12
Mark Micklefield 52
Ruth Micklefield 16

I think this is her on 1871c with Thomas Idle.

Emma Roberts
Age: 40
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1831
Relation: Visitor
Gender: Female
Where born: Wakefield, Yorkshire, England
Civil Parish: Stanley Cum Wrenthorpe

Mary Ann Idle 30
Susan Idle 3
Thomas Idle 6
Emma Micklefield 19
James Micklefield 52
James Micklefield 13
Joseph Micklefield 12
Mark Micklefield

I believe on the 1851 census Emma's mother is Tamer.

Thanks everyone for your replys.

As there are quite a few Roberts, not sure which birth certificate to go for.

This is curious. In 1841 there's a 10 year old Emma Idle in Methley with 35 year old Solomon Idle and 5 year old Thimothy? Next names are John & Elizabeth Micklefield both 60.

From IGI:
Emma Micklefield christened 15 Jan.1832, Methley, Yorks. Parents Mark & Tamar.

IGI:
Mark Michlefield married Tamar Illingworth, 26 Oct.1818, Methley, Yorks.

Thanks everyone.
