Emma Mary Evans 1857 - 1887
I have a bible that found it's way back to the UK, it belonged to my ancestor Emma Mary Evans.She took this bible(presented to her on August 25th 1886 by the Brunswick Wesleyan Chapel, Liverpool, England) with her when she emigrated to Australia in 1886. A church headstone in Pembrokeshire Wales states that she died at Melbourne 11 February 1887, aged 30.
Date of birth9 April 1857
I know that her mother died when she was 18 and she had to take on the role of mother to her younger siblings. I assume that now free of her responsibilities she was looking forward to a new life in Australia.
I can only think she died of a disease picked up on the ship bringing her to Australia. She would have left the UK sometime in August or early September arriving I would think around November 1886.
If anyone can help me to either locate details of her death and/or the ship and location where she arrived in Australia I would be most grateful
