By "track her down", I assume you mean post-emigration.
I don't think you'll have much luck in this country apart from the sources described here -

US sources are probably your best bet.

1901 census Liverpool
Emma Povah born Liverpool age 9
Charles Povah age 50
Margaret Povah age 48
Jane Povah age 13
Robert Povah age 19.
At least you know they were still in England when the above was taken.

Can't find her under Emma Povah in the US census of 1910/20 or 30, but by then she could have married.
There is an Emma Povah listed on the Philadelphia Passenger Lists, 1800-1945, but I'm not subscribed to read them at the moment. perhaps another person on the forum can read the record.

Big Thankyou
Hi
Thankyou all so much for your help i really do appreciate it. That is the Emma i am looking for in Philadelphia, her friend Tim Marley, did she travel with him or was he her contact in the U.S.?
Can i be realy cheeky and ask if any one can tell me of any site other then Ancestors, as im not subscribed for the U.S info, that i could find more information, ie who she married and so on.
Thank's again for the help
Sue
