Emma Osmotherly (my Great Grandmother) was born on 15th September, 1854 at
home at Perry Street, Northfleet, North Aylesford, Kent, and baptised at St
George, Gravesend. Her parents were Richard (a farm labourer) and Martha
Osmotherly (nee Mills, who had been previously married to George Fordham in
Fawkham). Emma and her parents were listed in the 1861 census for 10
Wycliffe Road, Northfleet, along with Emma’s siblings Mary Ann, Eliza, James
and Richard.
In the 1871 census Emma’s mother, Martha, was not listed. Further
investigations revealed that Martha had died of phthisis (tuberculosis) in
1869, aged 44, and Emma’s father, Richard, died aged 50, just three years
later in 1872 from a carbuncle which he had suffered from for 10 days
beforehand (large ‘boil’, usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus) – both
long before treatments had been discovered.
Emma was subsequently found in the 1881 census, unmarried, as a domestic
servant at the Greyhound Hotel, George Street, Richmond, Surrey. She
probably met her future partner here, John Richard Bowling, my great
granddad, as he was a wine merchant’s porter at about this time – maybe he
made deliveries to the hotel, which was how they met.
Emma died in childbirth at Queen Charlotte’s Hospital in 1895, aged 42. The
cause of death stated as carcinoma of the ‘uterus ? cervix’. With her died
her new born baby Mary – her eighth child. John Richard couldn't cope as ill
and went to infirmary for 4 months, three children (and my Granddad) worked,
and the other four were too young and were sent to Canada on SS Tunisian to
work on farms by Annie MacPherson's Home of Industry in May 1900. *
