- Born: 5 Oct 1869, Dover or Milton Gravesend, Kent, England 1 3 6 7 8
- Marriage: Charles Thomas Chittenden on 21 May 1888 in Holy Trinity Church, Portsea 1 2
- Died: 21 Jun 1958, Toronto, Ontario at age 88 1

 General Notes:
A search in the census records turns up (so far at least) only this interesting record taken from the 1881 census of Portsea. This 10 year old would appear to be the Emma who later marries Charles Thomas Chittenden in 1888 and who at that time declared herself to be the daughter of William Dixon. jca (see also the 1891 census in Portsea, with William and Emma Wittcomb living next to the Charles and Emma Chittenden family with addresses of #1 and #3, St. Georges Passage, Portsea)
1881 census, Dwelling: 1 St Georges Passage

____________________________________________________
A search of the 1871 census records from Milton, Kent turn up this one for an Emma Dixon living with her grandparents with no evidence of a mother. The 3 year year old William could be Emma's half brother?. jca
A search of the 1881 census does not turn up this Emma Dixon, born about 1869 or 1870 in Milton, Gravesend, Kent, which hints that it could be the same person as our Emma Witcome, age 10, on the 1881 census, in Portsea.
Note that although this census is from Milton, Gravesend, a quick check in the LDS IGI files show that the younger generation here were all born in Milton Next Sittingbourne some 16 miles to the East of Gravesend.

Research Notes:
The existance of Emma (Dixon) prior to her marriage in 1888 to Charles Thomas Chittenden is still very much in question, as on the birth registration of their son Charles Edward Chittenden, born 26th December 1891 and registered in Portsea Island, her maiden surname was given as Wittcombe.
Further research is continuing on this question... jca. August 22 2005.
Noted events in her life were:
• Residence: 1 Saint George's Passage, 1881, Portsea, Hampshire, England. 8
• Occupation: Machinist, 1888, Portsea, Hampshire, England.
• Residence: 13 Saint George's Passage, 1889, Portsea, Hampshire, England. 5
• Residence: 20 Longs Road, 1901, Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. 3
• Residence: 43 Brownlow Ave, 1916, Toronto, Ontario. 9
Emma married Charles Thomas Chittenden, son of John Edward Chittenden and Olivia Baker, on 21 May 1888 in Holy Trinity Church, Portsea.1 2 (Charles Thomas Chittenden was born on 6 Mar 1868 in Southsea, Hampshire,1 3 6 7 9 10 11 12 13 died on 21 Nov 1946 in Toronto, Ontario 1 7 and was buried in Mt.
