Her father was a printer and she grew up in Newnham (1841) however both parents had both died by the time she was 10 years old and she then went to live with Thomas and Harriett Prior in Ashdon, Essex. The Priors were from Cambridge originally, both worked as as school teachers, and aged 15 Emma was a pupil teacher. She worked as a school teacher in Chinnor (1861) and Watford (1881) before moving back to live at 353 Mill Road by at least 1901. She died at Mill Road aged 67 years old.
