Emanuel C. of Gosport, absentee landlord, Ireland

Not mine either, but I can fill in some more detail. Pretty sure he would be son of John Churcher and Nancy. He is listed in the 1881 census as a retired grocer living at Bridgemary House, and was the Emmanuel that married Emma Norris.
Children were George, william Emanuel, Rosina, Alice, Arthur, Sophia. William Emanuel was "Living on own means" at Melrose House 1891. George was listed as a solicitor in 1891 - perhaps the origin of the Churcher solicitors still around in Gosport ?
The other 2Emmanuels that I know about were ag/gen labourers one being the son of the other. Their line originated in Wickham.
Sound familiar to anyone; wonder how the Irish connection came about ?
