After checking the image again I agree it could be daughter, but where is Elizabeth in 1851.

West Midlands Birth indexes for the years: 1849.
DUNN Elizabeth B. Rowley Regis. Sandwell Register Office. RR/13/151.

Yet on Freebmd,
Births Sep 1849.
DUNN Elizabeth *cook. Dudley. 18. 286.

DUNN, Eliza Daughter F 0 (11 MOS) 1851 Rowley Regis Staffordshire (Is this Elizabeth?)

Is it possible that William, Emily's brother was the father.

Jimmy wrote:Is it possible that William, Emily's brother was the father.

Anything is possible -- it could just be that as a very close family Emily adopted her niece Elizabeth unofficially and considered her as more than a niece

Interestingly I see Benjamin who was a "son" in 1861 became a "nephew" in 1871 -- so they dont' seem to be too sure of relationships.

Just opened another thread on emily
