I wanted to browse a few pages in certain areas in 1850 - 1857 but I don't think it is possible and even if it was it wouldn't be practical or feasible that I could or that I would find what I need.

Basically I lose my grt grt grandmother's older sister after 1861, on that census she is Sarah E Palmer with two children Louisa Jane Palmer born 1852 and Emma Anne Palmer born 1857 I know it is Sarah because her brother Walter Wingfield is with them. Sarah is a widow.

I have always thought this was Sarah but I can't be sure right name right age right birth place with a son Thomas William born Bethnal Green. There is a SW Workman but I am sure that is a mistake, different house. Sarah says married.

I haven't found Louisa's birth record but I found her death and it is her I bought the cert, in looking for Louisa under both Palmer and Wingfield I found a Emma Palmer Wingfield, couldn't be a coincidence, born 1850 sent for cert and it is Sarah's daughter no father given but the Palmer is a giveaway.

So I looked for Emma Anne's and I got the cert and it gives Frederick Palmer 2nd Mate Merchant Service which is all I know about him, registered by Sarah I assume she is on her own but married because she didn't lie on the first Emma's birth as being married.

I have searched high and low for a marriage but can't find one or Sarah anywhere after 1861.

Edit to say she probably died but then I can't find Emma Anne I did find a 1871 census with a Emma Anne on servant but she is twenty, no marriage found I must admit didn't look for a death for either yet. I suppose Sarah probably lied about being married on Emma Anne's birth record.

ANOTHER EDIT: Frederick Palmer is 2nd Mate Merchant Service, Service being passenger ships I think rather than Navy.
