  George & Lilian Muriel Emery, married 1904. 12 children: Beresford,Kathleen,Muriel,Joan, Desmond,Norah, Noel, Sheila, Patrick, Irene,Brian, Hazel, born 1906 - 1922(ish). Does anyone know of them? I need their children's/grandchildren's anecdotal family history stories to help me research my father's family line.

  Hi Ludensia,
  I notice that having posted your message 2 days ago that no-one has been able to help you. Unless someone has specifically researched this particular family line, then you could be in for a long wait.
  The main difficulty is that going forward in time, i.e from 1904 to the present time, there are few on-line records to help you. Unfortunately, you will need to scroll through the records at either the FRO or local county libraries to do so. It's a hard slog and time consuming but then... that's family history for you.
  Good luck. Let us all know how you get on.

  Hi loftyowl,
  Thank you so much for your reply. I knew it was a long shot, but worth the chance that a cousin or second cousin might be tracing the family back. I have been in Canada for 23 years, so online records have been my only resource, but I am trying to return to England to live.
  If I can get back home at last, then I will set out to find these contemporary Emerys in the records in the hope that they can help me with the Irish strand on Lilian Muriel's side and with the enormous brick wall posed by George Emery's bogus story of origins in the Channel Islands whereas he is listed on the 1891 census as a nine-year old from Paddington boarding with an agricultural labourer's family in Kent. Neither Barnardo's nor Paddington area workhouse records have his name and his birth was not registered.
  
  I have become obsessed with my grandparent's mysteries and will soldier on as you suggest. Thank you very much for your reply.
