In1901 they are in Little Hill, Cradley with the above children plus James, Joseph,Emily & Louisa.

Who knows, this could be a BC join up!

Is this him on BCC here - Married to Emily Yardley : http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... onnections

Thats the one Auntie Em, but I'm now confused. That say wife is EMILY, 1881 & 1891 census records her as Emma. There is an Emma Yardley on BC, but married to William Mills. Would it be recorded incorrectly on 2 census?. I dont have the wedding cert to prove it.

The names Emma and Emily are often confused - the marriage is attached on BCC

Yes I agree, Emily is Emma on the 1861 Census, it is the right family Sharon.
