What happened to Emma Crew.............................

Emma Crew born 1844 Hawkesbury Gloucestershire (registered under Crewe) parents Daniel Crew and Hester Williams. On the 8th June 1862 Emma marries Joseph Shields in Hawkesbury.

On FreeBMD I cannot find a marriage or any birth registered for Joseph.

On familysearch there is a marriage with Joseph's surname as Syfield. I have used this surname as well looking for the marriage but nothing.

Any help would be appreciated

siamese

This one looks promising

Lyfield Joseph Chipping S 6a 302

Found a Joseph Lyfield in 1861 census as a lodger in Hawkesbury. He is 22 ag lab and born Ankerton Wilts.

Interestingly the next census entry has 2 more Lyfields (married) James 19 and Mary 23 also born Ankerton.

I reckon this is his birth with the name spelt Leighfield.

Birthplace I think is Hankerton not Ankerton. Dropping the H's even in those days!

Here he is with family in Hankerton 1841 aged 2.

where did the name joseph shields come from. i cant see one born or living in wiltshire/gloucestershire area in 1861 or 1871

Stuck with finding anything after the marriage I'm afraid. Have tried all kinds of different spellings/surnames etc but no luck.

There is a death for an Emma Leighfield in the Malmesbury area in 1870 but a little premature as age is given as 30 and without being certain of the surname can't say if it's your Emma.

Maybe they went to another country and had children there.
