Note | BiographyEmma Birmingham was born in Selworthy, Somerset in 1830 and was baptised on 28 June 1830 at All Saints Parish Church, Selworthy, although she was not actually christened until November 1831. She was baptised 18 months before the christening. This may indicate she was ill at birth and not expected to live. She married William George Underwood, born at Gloucester in 1841, at Bristol, Gloucester in 1862. They had at least three children
Her husband, William George Underwood is not listed with the family after the 1871 census and it is believed he was the William Underwood listed in the 1881 and 1911 Census as a patient at a mental health hospital (or as it was described then, an 'asylum for imbeciles’) at Caterham, Surrey. Emma Birmingham herself became a dress maker at Bedminster (1881 census) and then a tailoress (1891 census) and then lived with her daughter and her daughter's husband into her seventies (1901 census). She died in 1907.
