Emily Hockley's Children
by John Payne
Left to Right: Kate (22), Albert (4), Edith (2), Alfred (26), Ellen (9)
- Photo: circa 1895
The photo shows most of the children of Emily Hockley. Emily married John Payne, a Coachman. It saddens me to explain he left Emily and his family around 1894 when my grandfather Alfred was 25, and the youngest child was 1 or 2. Alfred, a cabinet maker, stayed to support and help Emily raise the family until he was 37 when he married and started his own family in 1906. The photo was given to me by my Aunt Lily, but what occasion it celebrates is not known, perhaps to mark the end of Alfred’s apprenticeship. Sadly Emily is not in the photo and none have been found of her to date.
Footnote: When I was named John it was greeted simply with a long silence by Alfred, Alice and Emily.
