Default Emma Moore Matthews Garvie

NB The only info I really lack for Emma are her baptism and her 2nd marriage to John Garvie, which must have taken place between May 1879 when her first husband died and March 1881 when she appears as John's wife on census.

Emma was born 4th Dec 1843, 11 Smarts Row, parish of St Andrew the Less in Cambridge (area also known as Barnwell - very poor!)
Parents William Moore and Susannah Moore, formerly Browning
Father's occupation: carpenter

No baptism found
Emma MOORE (with no variants) in Cambridgeshire between 1843 and 1845 for baptisms records.
No results found on familyhistoryonline
Aug 2007 checked transcripts for St Andrew the Less, Holy Trinity, St Edwards, St Clements, St Benedicts, St Mary the Less and St Giles.

1st May 1865 Emma Moore married Thomas Matthews in Islington Parish Church.

19 Apr 1866 Emma's first child Thomas Emmets Matthews was born at 13 Hornsey Road, Holloway, baptised 26 Sep 1866 at Islington Parish Church [this is the only baptism I can find for any of Emma's six children]

2nd July 1868 Emma's second child, Henry Matthews was born at Ingram Place, Hornsey Road, Lower Holloway.
6 August 1868 Henry Matthews, aged 5 weeks, died of tabes mesenterica at 13 Hornsey Road, Lower Holloway.
[Ingram Place was a terrace on Hornsey Road, including no. 13]

According to Emma's daur Annie, who told her daur-in-law Ruth Williams Gray, Emma had 9 pregnancies. Since 1911 census says she only had 2 children by her 2nd marriage to John Garvie, she must have had 7 pregnancies with Thomas Matthews. There is a gap of 6 years between 1868 death of Henry and 1874 birth of John, which could easily encompass 3 pregnancies, which would have ended in miscarriage or stillbirth.

Also between death of Henry and birth of John William, Thomas, Emma and Thomas Emmets moved from 13 Hornsey Road (part of Ingram Place) to 90 George's Road where their last two children, John William and Annie Eliza were born.

1871 RG 10 303 6 p.4

11 Oct 1874 Emma has 3rd son, John William, at 90 George's Road, Holloway.

7 Dec 1876, 3 days after Emma's 33rd birthday, she had her 4th child and only daughter, ANNIE ELIZA at 90 George's Road.

25 Mar 1877 John William died at 90 George's Road of purpera haemorrhagica.

1st May 1879 Emma was widowed on her 14th wedding anniversary. Thomas collapsed in Victoria Road, the street immediately south of and parallel to their home in George's Road. An inquest held 6 May determined that he died of a disease of the heart and blood vessels.

About 1880 Emma probably married John Garvie, marriage untraced. She may have met him by his being a lodger, or through her sister Elizabeth's husband John Smith French, who worked with locomotives, or her sister Susan's husband, who was a railway inspector.
