Biography

Birth 1864 Barnsley

Emily was born in 1864 in Barnsley. She was the daughter of Martha (Baxter) Acklam but as their divorce proceedings reveal, not of her husband George Acklam

Barnsley 1881 Mother Heads Family

In 1881 Martha describes herself as a widow though she is in fact divorced and her former husband is still living. She also gives the five children with her the surname Acklam though in the divorce proceedings it is revealed that the youngest four are definitely not biologically George Acklam's but the children of William Coldwell. It is uncertain who was the father of this younger George, but probably not George Acklam. ^[1]
