Emily Stephenson, Tom and Eliza's last child, was born in
Iford, close to Lewes, in the third quarter of 1890.

She disappears from the record early, and was clearly
unknown to Alice Edgar's son Wilfred, who said his mother's family consisted of
three sisters (Alice, Bessie and Blanche) and William. I suspect she is the
Emily Stephenson whose death was registered in the East Preston District of
Sussex in the first quarter of 1900. Tom and Eliza are known to have been living in this
District, but I suggested in a previous post that an illegible entry in the
1901 Census refers to their daughter Blanche, who was maid in a school in
Goring-on-Sea, which is in East Preston .
According to the 1911 Census, Eliza had lost two children. I think Emily was one of them, and that she had a sister or brother who died in between two censuses.
