Birth of Emma Rhoda Nash in FreeBMD in April-June 1844 in Greenwich (5 229).
In the 1851 census as Emma Nash aged 6, born in Greenwich and living with her mother (Phoebe Nash aged 64, born in Seven Oaks, Kent, widowed and a pauper) ) and sister (Eliza aged 34 and born in Woolwich, Kent and no stated employment) at 137 Powis Street, Woolwich Arsenal, Woolwich, Kent. I assume that Phoebe was her grandmother and Eliza her mother.
Her grandmother died in Greenwich on 21 Mar 1856, and was buried on 30 March 1856 in Greenwich, but I cannot locate locate any later information for her mother.
I cannot locate her in the 1861 census.
