Emma was six weeks in the Horton Asylum. She and three others were buried in a pauper’s grave.

The year 1931 was marked by significant events in the UK

  1.  the abandonment of the Ulster Canal, 
  2.  the opening of Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London,
  3.  the resignation of Winston Churchill from Stanley Baldwin’s shadow cabinet. 
  4. It also saw the formation of the New Party by Oswald Mosley 
  5. the establishment of the National Trust for Scotland. 
  6. The year was  notable for the Westminster St George’s by-election, which ended the campaign by the press barons Lord Beaverbrook and Viscount Rothermere to oust Stanley Baldwin.
