Emily lived near Twyford Avenue & near Aunt Kate. Aunt Kate died a spinster, and left her unsigned will to a distant relative ( Brother ? ) in Wales.NOTES: From Ron Bridgen
As a child he would visit Emily with his parents, Herbert and Dorothy. Before leaving her house, Herbert would hide a 10 shilling note in the tea caddy, so she would find it later. This would probably be in the late 1930's.

Emily married Edward James Thomas Bridgen in 1891. His father, Edward Bridgen, was a warder in the prison between 1864 & 1871 (possibly much longer). It would appear that Emily met Edward via her master, John Astridge, the governor of the prison. Edward senior's brother, George Bridgen, was also a dispenser of medicine at the prison.
Another of Edward senior's brothers was Charles Bridgen a dentist (possibly at the prison). Two of Charles' daughters, Caroline & Elizabeth, married the brothers, Thomas Ernest Boyd Broadbent & Frederick Holdsworth Broadbent, whose younger brother was Edward Gerald Broadbent, husband of Harriett Kate Astridge.
Their sister, Mary Theresa Broadbent, married Francis Jerome Palmes in 1881, who was 14th great grandson of King Edward III of England.
