  • Notes 
    • Emma was the sixth child born of Thomas Milsted and Ann (nee Gregory). She married George Card on 31 January 1864. Although George had come to Faversham to work in the brickfields, he was, in 1871 working as a labourer at the cement works. Emma and George had, in total, four children - two girls and two boys. Neither of the sons, unfortunately, survived beyond their first year of life. At the time of the 1871 census, Emma's brother, Daniel, was also living with them. Despite his young age - 16 - he was already had a work pursuing a career as a mariner.

      Although I have not as yet tracked down the burial, it appears that Emma may have died as a result of complications during the birth of her last child in 1871. George Card went on to remarry on 18 November 1871 and have several more children with his new wife.

      Emma, daughter of George and Emma, married William Ernest Beacon, a carpenter, on July 7th, 1889, but I have not been able to locate them on the 1891 census. The remaining daughter, Alice Card, may have died between 1871 and 1881, as I have been unable to locate her on the 1881 census.
