many thanks for your help-the information given re: Edward, Emily and their daughter Isabella matches information in my posesion particularly in confirming the late 19th century emigration to Australia - some members of the extended family may also have been in New Zealand at that time-however another mystery has arisen! -could there have been an error in the burial transcription records, as all the information I have (supported by the 1861 census) suggests that Isabella was Edward's grandmother
