Emma did state on her marriage to William in 1854 that her father is William hayer

Dea Report 9 Mar 2018 15:41

They have to be closely connected though as the adress of 2 Dryden street where James + Eliza + family are in 1851 is the same as that given for both William and Emma on their marriage cert in 1854 ??? :-S
