Notes:
1-6-2011 - checked records at Lewes Records Office for Union Workhouse in Ticehurst. Emma was admitted on Monday 15th August, between dinner and supper, along with her aunt, down as Naomi Celia Jeffery, both suffering with diphtheria. The aunt's husband was noted as being Jeffery, attendant at the establishment. Emma was down as having been born in 1890, and the aunt in 1874. They were both admitted from the Ticehurst parish, by the order of 2 overseers, made 15-8-1898. Emma is noted in the workhouse death register as having died between dinner and supper, and it is noted that she was unable to travel, near confinement. Naomi left the workhouse on Monday 5th September, after breakfast, at her own request and with the permission of the M.D. The Ticehurst church burial register shows that Emma was buried on 24-8-1898. On looking at Ancestry.co.uk marriage records, Emma father George had a sister Naomi Priscilla, who married James Frederick Jeffery in Q2 1895 in the Tonbridge district. I can find no record of what happened to James Jeffery, nor can I find Naomi in the 1901 census, but at the time of the 1911 census she was living as a servant with a Michael Jacobs, a docker, in London. I found a marriage for Naomi and Michael in 1923, and believe that Naomi died Q2 1924 in the Bethnal Green registration district. Looking at census records for Michael, I believe in 1881 he was aged 19 living with his parents at 129 Cable Street, St George in the East, London. In 1891 he was aged 30 living with his sister Rose and her husband Henry Francis at Pennington Street, St George in the East. In 1901 he was living with his wife Rachel and son Leopold at 156 Brunswick Buildings, Goulston Street, St Jude Whitechapel. In the 1911 census with Naomi he was down as married, and her as single, but on their marriage certificate he was down as a bachelor and her as a widow. She died at 214a Cambridge Road, Bethnal Green. This address was originally the Bethnal Green workhouse infirmary, then during WW1 it was a military hospital, then became Bethnal Green Hospital when the NHS started.
