Priscilla Crockford married Henry Green,they had 3 children that I know of. Edward,Emma and Henry, Henry Green the father died as daughter Emma was born of the fever.

Priscilla then having to bring up 3 young children with no breadwinner begins to pick up a criminal record serving 21 days in prison for being drunk and disorderly.
She married Thomas Moy of St John Street Coventry,whose father is named as William Moy on his marriage certificate to Priscilla.
She served a prison sentence for having a disorderly house,which I believe was another way of saying she may have been a prostitute,I don't know if she was still with Thomas at this point,or whether they may have split.As already proffered,I also believe she ended up in the Mumble's of Dudley,a very tough place to live in those days living under her old name Green ,In the 1851 census she was with son Henry, daughter Emma was in 1851 living with Priscilla's sister Emma Eden(nee Crockford) back in Coventry.The other child Edward had died earlier.

Priscilla under the name Green picked up further misdemeanor's for robbery,with her friend they invited  a man to the house in the Mumble's then drugged and robbed him,her Friend took the blame and Priscilla was let off.

She finally died in 1861 in Coventry Workhouse,Brick Kiln Lane, according to her death certificate it was a brain injury,certified one year,I'm not sure what that means exactly.

Hope this helps,I'm looking into the possibility that daughter Emma kept in touch with members of the Moy family,as some Moy family are on the records of Warwick Road congregational church at the same time as Emma was a member.
