Trying to find Emily Davies born about 1886 in Britain. The only information that I have is her father was Richard Davies. He was a policeman and was deceased at the time of Emily's marriage to John Smith in Birkenhead, Cheshire in 1916. Emily had 2 children Walter and Emily and died in 1951.
Appreciate any help.

Jean, do you have names of witnesses and address just in case they can offer some clues?

Jan,

Emily's marriage certificate witnesses are: James Bell and Sarah Ellen Moore, no address.

Just checking - I meant bride's address, maybe you thought I meant witnesses? Could read either way!

Thanks Jan, I see what you mean but the address only shows Bidston. I know that she was a live in maid at the time of her marriage so that doesn't really help. Any ideas of how I might be able to follow up her fathers police record perhaps that will shed some light on the mysterious woman.

Hi Jean.
Might not look like it, but I did spend some time on an Emily search but no luck so far - sorry for not getting back to you. Am off to work in a moment so won't be back for some time. Not sure about the police records if you don't have a location - I know where I live they are kept locally. One problem is that a lot of men drifted into the police force for a short time I believe.
If you want to delete and start over, that might be an idea as others might not look seeing so many replies to your thread.
