Default Can anyone find Emma?

I have Emma Bomber b June q 1865 Walsall Wood Staffs. She married James Edwards June q 1890 Walsall. I have her married in 1891, 1901 and 1911 and she consistently says she was b Walsall Woods, so why can't I find her earlier??
There is a Bomber family on the earlier census where the mother is Emma but she is not with them.

I would like to give her some parents.

Maybe she had a step-father and was listed with his surname?

Were the couple you saw Charles and Emma?

They were the ones that I found. The niece that Maggie found looks possible. I will look at the wider family and see if I can tie the aunt in.

Somehow I missed that, I only found an Alice Rowlinson married to a Richard Ward! That really confused me!
