The only source that I can find on Genealogy.com https://www.genealogy.com/ftm/l/a/w/Dawn-B-Lawrence/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-1657.html Emma was born in 1802. She is the daughter of Thomas Bates and Ann Ball.

Her profile has her mother as Elizabeth Felton but her biography has her mother as Ann Ball. Which one is right?
The link is to a user generated tree which lacks sources

How sure are you about the marriage to George Rogers in 1858? As Doug has pointed out, there is a marriage index that lists an Emma Bates and a George Rogers on the same page in Birmingham in 1858. However there are 2 marriages per page and they did not marry each other. Also the Emma Bates who married in 1858 was born in 1839 not 1802 and was the daughter of John Bates not Thomas Bates.

The 2 marriage records on the page are actually as follows:

Gender: Female
Age: 19
Birth Date: abt 1839
Marriage Date: 15 Nov 1858
Marriage Place: Birmingham, St Philip, Warwickshire, England
