I'm just not quick enough at this game, am I?
Born, married, lived and died on Portsea Island. I don't know whether she ever stepped on mainland Britain at all. |

If you knew how I had searched for her - especially when I did not know her year of birth - even under the variants of her mother's name!
What is really gutting is that some of the pr entries I have extracted use RAILEY as a name. (Am now trying to say the name with a Portsea/Irish accent. The family was supposed to have come over during the potato famine, but her grandfather was apprenticed in the dockyard some forty years before she was born) |

I was checking some old notes for Emma's birth. I last looked for her in 1978
Feels very old |

Hi I am related to Emma Riley . My father has always maintained through the hearsay of the family that there were Irish roots. Have you found anything? Regards

Hello China
Welcome to the forum, and sorry I missed this post. One of Dad's cousins always said that the family came over at the time of the potato famine. THIS IS WRONG. I imagine that the family did come from Ireland, but I have no idea when or where from. Emma's grandfather died in 1843, unfortunately. But in 1841 the census says he was born in Hampshire and he was apprenticed to a fireman in Portsmouth Dockyard in 1808. Can I ask how you are related? A direct descendant of Emma, or one of her three surviving siblings? PM me if you don't want the details public.
