BIOGRAPHY: Emma died in 1963 when I was one so I don't remember her, but my older sisters do. They used to call her "little grandma". I just spoke to my sister Lynda who has told me that she lived for many years with my Grandfather - Albert Thorogood and my Grandma May (Melanis on my tree). She lived in the front bedroom, even cooking on her own 'primus' stove. The lived in a bungalow built by my grandfather himself in Vange - road named Bardfield, which would have been called Kent View Road around the 1900's - 1940's. Emma's picture was in the local paper - Basildon Recorder I would think - opening the Trinity Methodist Church, in Vange in 1959 (see <http://members.lycos.co.uk/METHODIST/trinity/>) My uncle Robert (my dad's brother) lived with Emma and his parents for some time
BIOGRAPHY: My uncle (Robert John) is my dad's younger brother. He was born 29 June 1944, 22 years after my dad!, could only remember little details about Emma Thorogood (nee Harrington) as he was quite young and away at bording school. He did remember her being a lovely lady who was kind and gentle, and almost always in her bedroom or at the church. It seems that my Grandma, her daughter-in-law, didn't get on too well with her. I guess it was hard being almost on the bread line and having your husband's mother living with you!

DEATH: possible death record (unproved) Holden Henry age at death 81 district Medway.Volume 2a page1042 Death 1st quarter 1918
I have the birth, death and marriage records of my Emma (Snoad), marriage to Richard Brown, they had 6 children. And were the parents to my Grt. Grd. Father, Henry Edward Brown, the oldest. Then, Richard's death at 39, leaving her a widow, with children to raise. I attacked finding out what happened to her after. I searched film after film, fische and files at Latter Day. Finally I found, she married again to a younger man by the man of Henry Holden. During those years, she had been a caregiver in the home of the Holden family after their mother past away. They married in 1874, she had 2 more children. By then, some of her younger ones were married, and some at home.

Just found a note my mother wrote about Eliza Harrington. Apparently she was quite fierce, and ran a very tight ship. She apparently used to make her husband (Frederick) shave from a bowl outside, even in the snow !
