Emma Jane Watkins d of Thomas Morgan & Emma Watkins b 10-1-1889

I can't find her after 1901 and a tree on Ancestry has her marrying Henry Thomas Woolaway in Sydney Australia

I do not have access to world wide records and I have a vague record of an aunt saying Aunt Emma went to Australia.

Is there any way this can be confirmed please

Thank you.

Do Australian death records give any parent information?

Brilliant. Thank you very much.

That is definitely my Emma. My gt aunt. All the details fit, even down to Thomas’s occupation - apart from them describing Abergavenny as NORTH Wales
