Thanks Trish,
I knew her first husband was wealthy and she married quite quickly after his death.  The house she lived in was a large residential premises.. her second husband had died by 1881 when she was a widow once again!.. Emma died in 1883 age 47 and I think her probate is on ancestry but can’t decipher it.
