Great x3 Aunt Emma Manning (1865 - 1866)

My Great x3 Aunt Emma (1865 - 1866) was the eldest sister of my Great Great Grandmother Grandmother Mary Ann 'Polly' Boobier (nee Manning) (1869 - 1916).

Emma was born in April/May 1865 in Exeter, Devon to William Manning (about 35), a general labourer, and Mary Ann Manning (nee Ireland) (about 24), a laundress.

Emma was baptised on 21st May 1865, in Holy Trinity, Exeter. 

The young family lived on Melbourne Street, Exeter.

Emma was the eldest of nine children (five daughters and four sons):

  • Emma  1865 - 1866 (11 months old)
  • William  1868 -
  • Mary Ann 'Polly' 1869 -
  • Kate  1871 -
  • Rose  1875 - 1877 (2 years old)
  • Samuel  1877 - 1877 (11 weeks old)
  • James  1879 - 1887 (7 or 8 years old)
  • Unnamed Daughter  1880 - 1880 (0 years old)
  • Frederick John  1882 - 1882 (6 weeks old)

Sadly Emma's life was a short one. She passed away, aged eleven months, in Jan/Feb/Mar 1866, in Exeter.

She was buried on 11th March 1866, in Holy Trinity, Exeter.
