I searched on FMP for John Winfield or Wingfield with provision in the keyword field. Then I looked on Ancestry when I had some census info since I haven't got an FMP sub. But I doubt that he is the right one, i.e. your Emma's father.

I have been in and out of trees in Australia and the USA. Also NSW and Tasmanian BMDs, just looking for snippets or just one clue who she was. I think I will send for her second marriage to Henry Moorhouse to see what her father's name was on that one. |
Update: Recieved second marriage certificate for Emma Driscoll nee Wingfield and Henry Moorhouse 1890.
Father John Wingfield no occupation but now deceased. Witnesses John Fortune and Emma Buckley. Emma's address 204 Victoria Dock Road, Custom House. Consistence with lies or it was the truth. |
Recapping:
Emma first marries in 1879 in Shoreditch to Pierce, a widower with small children. Subsequent children born in the London area. On that first marriage, she says her father is John, a provisions dealer. On the next marriage she maintains that his name is John, but simply says he is deceased. You can't find her (or him!) before the first marriage, and there are never recognisable family members with her on the census. Am I right so far? |

Both Margaret Ellen and Pierce Patrick were Emma's they both travelled to USA in 1891 including Adeline by Henry Moorhouse with Emma, while in the USA Adeline died aged 4 and Emma had another two sons and a daughter by Henry Moorhouse named Henry, Lillian and Walter. I have been looking at John Wingfields who died between 1879 and 1890. One sticks out John Wingfield born approx 1811 died 1884 Poplar but that is as far as I got he is on 1881 census in his own Dock Labourer. Wingfield John 73 Poplar 1c 383 |
A provisions dealer may be a term to impress a new husband.
I found this in 1901: https://search.findmypast.co.uk/reco...1%2F0013044969 John Thomas Wingfield widower aged 73 retired baker, blind, born limehouse, with a live in servant and her relations. Where was your missing John born? |

But the one you have found was born 1811. Could his birth date really be so far out? |
