Emily Jane DICKER

[cwelli]

Emily was born in Exeter in 1840. Her parents were Henry Philip and Phoebe Dicker. My great grand mother, Annie Caroline, was her younger sister born in 1850.
Emily was still living with her parents in Exeter on the 1891 census. Her mother died the following year and her father in 1894.
I can track the rest of the family but can't find a positive sighting of Emily after the 1891 census.
Please can anyone help?

Could this be her death

Emily Dicker Dec 1/4 1899 Exeter vol 5b page 67.

I know her age is down as 47 in 1891 when she should be 51 as she is on the 1841 census as 7 months so she plays about with her age.

Many thanks.

I've had a look at the Burial cards for Exeter cemeteries. Her parents were buried in Higher cemetery along with a few other family members but I can't find Emily. However I have to say that I can't find those of her brother and sister who died as infants or the 2 who died at birth which seems a little strange. I have also been through the newspaper archives and the later 4 all had announcements in the paper and I did not come across a death for Emily. Perhaps this could be that it was her father that placed the announcements and that he was now dead. Her brother still lived in Exeter at this time so would presumably be the next of kin. My great grandmother was in Manchester.
Emily's occupation was a music teacher, as was her mother. Her father had built church organs.

I don't know if this will aide you. A large number of people from Devon emigrated to south australia, 1850's onwards. There was a John Dicker in the Adelaide hills. Praps it would be worth looking in ships passenger lists, and newspaper articles of departures ?
