Thanks Suz, that helps somewhat.

Langley is definitely on the right track, Emily and William's first child was born in Langley Mill.

However, I'm a bit skeptical of the 1861 census you're looking at, as that doesn't track with the info in the St Lawrence baptism records.

I would have expected more than one child on the census, as baptism records show:
Fanny Meakin, bapt. 1854
Ann, bapt. 1856
Mary, bapt. 1860 (aged 10)
Emily, bapt. 1863

Perhaps another Thomas and Catherine at Langley?

The information I'm working off is a hard copy that came from my grandmother 15+ years ago, I have no reason so far to doubt it is correct and the IGI records match what I have.

Add to that the fact that there was an Emily Meakin baptised in 1863 to Thomas and Catherine, i feel like I'm probably on the right track. Nevertheless, I will try and get a copy of the marriage certificate. (Given that I'm on the other side of the world, how do I do that exactly? )

On the Parsons side of things, that does track with what I've managed to scratch up, except for Sarah? Where were they located when the census was taken?

I think you're right about Mary though, that's the conclusion I had reached.

curiouser and curiouser...
