I think if she was still having to work at 70 she may have  fibbed about her actual age!

All I know of Emma for certain is that she married at St George's Hanover Square in1874 age 22. Marriage cert states father was William Venn, engineer. In 1881 census she is living in Westminster with husband  Matthew Coels and children, then in 1891 with family plus mother in Walthamstow. She died age 47 in Walthamstow.

As I never found the three of them as a family unit I started working backwards and traced Tryphena as a live- in cook, next step to trace Emma possibly with relatives, but as yet nothing obvious.

What about the Emma who is a niece in 1871 - do you think that is a different Emma? 

That Emma was a nurse and I see Matthew was a surgeon.

Sorry for not replying to you Milliepede.  This could be my Emma, just can't see a  connection as yet.
It turns out that Matthew Coels was a surgeon's assistant rather than a surgeon, prior to that he had been a valet. He was born in Germany and became a naturalised citizen in 1875.
They have been an interesting lot to research as I've learnt about naturalization, what happened to German immigrants re WW1etc
