On the 1901 census Emma's place of birth is given as Boston Spa.
If you search the 1911 census for Emma b 1890 +/- two years in Boston Spa, it shows an Emma Briggs living in the Barnsley registration district.

Wow, thanks Elaine and also Kite. Yes, Boston Spa is really part of Wetherby. I think this must be her marriage. Will go and look. I really must now renew my subscription to Ancestry and get stuck in! Thank you both of you.:)

Had a look and yes, sure it's her. Will now get the certificate. Thank you both so much.:)
