Lilly was born on 23rd December 1863 but since that date seems to have vanished from all records. At that time her parents, James and Mary Emmott were living at 29 Snargate Street, Dover and I believe that was where Lilly was born. James was working for Pickfords in Dover and Sheerness. I have lost sight of their family until 1871 when James and Mary have moved to Bradford, James's home town, where he died in 1887. Mary died in 1897, leaving a property in Dover but although she mentioned all their other children in her will there was nothing about Lilly.
If anybody can unearth more information I would be most grateful.
