Notes for Emily Lucy Mingay
Emily Lucy Mingay was born in Norwich in 1846 and was the daughter of Frederick Mingay (1820) and Sarah Harriet Bridges. In 1851 she was living in Chapel Street In Norwich. In 1861 she was living in the White Horse In Crooks Place, Chapel Street, Norwich, and was a servant in the household of publican George Gibson. She married Owen Murrell (1848) at Norwich Register Office on 22nd May 1866 and had a daughter called Emily Rachel in the same year. In 1871 she was living with her parents and daughter in the greengrocer's shop in Crook's Place in the St. Stephen area of Norwich. At this time she was working as a shoe machinist. Owen abandoned her in 1871, and she married Lemuel Broughton (1846) in Yarmouth in 1874 - presumably bigamously. In 1881 she was a dressmaker and was living in Thorn Lane in Norwich.
