From 1881 it appears Emma Jane was born in Newington to Robert and Eliza. Newington is shown as a sub-district of the old St Saviours Registration District. The entry for Emma Jane in 1879 looks a fairly good bet.

A Robert John Bates and an Eliza Waite appear on the same page for marriages in Lambeth, Sept Q 1876.

At some stage you will have to invest in a certificate.

Hi
It doesn't only 'full age'
Brian

Not quite sure what more you want.

As mentioned in my earlier reply, in 1881 Robert John Bates, Mineral Water Bottler, shown living with wife Eliza and children, including Emma J.

RJB born c 1853, Sheerness, EB born c 1852, Lambeth.

I do not subscribe to Ancestry but, from their index, it looks as if in 1891 RJB shown as b c 1855 and EB (mis-transcribed as Elna) also b c 1855. Emma still with them.

I cannot trace this family group in 1901 but by that time Emma would have been 22 and quite possibly in service and living apart from family.

I have also found these entries on BMD which might relate:-
Richard John Bates born Sep Q 1852 Sheppey
Eliza Waite born Sep Q 1852 Rotherhithe.

If you are in UK you might like to know that you may be able to have free access to Ancestry at your local library. I believe this facility is also available in some other countries.

Hi Ed,

In 1901 there is an Eliza Bates who is a widow born in Lambeth, Surrey but her age is given as 62. It looks as though you are going to have to get some certificates as Brentorboy suggested.

Thanks Starlight

Certs on my list
