slowhands you are right, I put the note on the forum very very quickly and so information was lacking for which I apologise. Emily married my great grandfather James Joseph Morgan and they lived in Ross or thereabouts. They had 8 children, one of which was my grandfather, Reginald Howard.

Thank you so much for the information though. It's interesting to me that Emily came from Scotland originally and I'm now wondering why she ended up in Ross. Another mystery!!

Thank you again.

Thats a transcription error she is from Ross Herefordshire - it confused me for a while yesterday too !!! The 1881 image is clearly ROSS.

So does the transcription error apply to her "Aunt", Elizabeth Blake, as well then?

Hi - my mum is Wendy Morgan (now Back), and she was the daughter of Reginald and Winifred Morgan (nee Powell). Reg was James Joseph and Emily's son. Do you have any more informtion about Emily, her parentage, how she ended up an orphan, any siblings etc etc?

Mum and I are hoping to come down to Ross for the day shortly to see various people such as Margaret Wilce and May Brace. Perhaps if you are around we could call to you too?

Hello, I am sorry I don't have any information on her, though I remember you grandparents Reg and Winnie, I was taken to visit Reg in hospital in Leamington Spa, It would be very nice to meet you, as over the years I have lost touch with my Grandads side of the family, let me know when you are likely to visit and we could meet up,

Regards
Sara

bit of an update on Emily:

It appears that her father, Thomas Davis (although it's spelt Tomas in his bible), died in a railway related accident but it is unclear whether he worked on the railway line or not. In 1881 Emily is recited as living with William & Elizabeth Blake at 20 Purbrook, Walford. She is their "neice". In 1891, Emily is still living with William & Elizabeth but has been joined, at that time, by Almay A Blake, also William & Elizabeth's neice. However, Emily is now recited as being their daughter and has changed her name. What is unclear is whether or not Emily was adopted by the Blakes or whether in fact she simply changed her name. In 1901 Emily has married James Joseph Morgan and is living with the majority of their children (some had not yet been born) at The Atlas and William Blake is a widower and boarder.
