1863 Emma Lankshear marriage to William STEER
parents see 1840 William Lankshear 1st marriage - Elizabeth GILL
Dave also tells me that William's father Samuel as well as being a pub landlord
was a famous wrestler
Marriages Dec 1863 St Luke 1b 886
Burns Henry
Lankshear Emma
Loveday Sarah
Steer William
I looked at BURNS but clearly Emma married Mr Steer
1/2009 yes she married William STEER as church records now available for St Barnabas
William was a cab proprietor of 10 Powell St West and father Samuel was a publican
Emma shows as 20 of 21 President St and father was William and a
grocer and her sister Elizabeth was a witness
and other witness was Harry Parry
Emma is always London City and born 1844
Presumably William's father Samuel in 1856 directory

These names on page
Emma Charlotte Blazey Sidney Thomas Burge Sydney Thomas Burge Lilly Child Esther
