Hide Details Note: In the 1871 census Emma Blanche at 22 years was living at home with her parents Sarah and Jonathan Carey. Her father was a retired solicitor. Blanche lived in the family home all of her life until about 1922 when she and her brother Alfred moved to Wray Lodge in Reigate. The family home in 1871 was at 15 Clapton Square in Hackney St John's. Three of her brothers were also at home at that time.

Soon after the death of Blanche's father in April 1874, her mother and siblings ‎(all except Arthur who had already gone to India)‎ moved to Surrey where they first lived at Station Road, South Bank, Reigate.

Sarah Buttfield Carey occupied Kent House at 79 Addiscombe Road, Addiscombe ‎[now Croydon?]‎ from 1889-90, the year before she died; thereafter it was owned by her daughter Blanche Carey from 1890 to 1922. By 2002 the site of Kent House was occupied by a block of flats and had been renumbered. Adjacent surviving houses are large, detached and double-fronted. It is likely that Kent House was identical.

In 1891 Emma Blanche 42 was the head of the household. Two of her brothers were at home: Frederick G. 41, Barrister at Law; and Alfred E. 39, Civil Engineer. Lottie B. Craft 23 was a visitor; Rebecca Finch 29 was the cook, and Annie White 19 was the housemaid.

The birthplaces of each of the Careys were as follows:
Emma B. St John's Wood
Frederick G St John's Wood
Alfred E. Wargrave, Berkshire

By 1901 Emma B. was 52; and Alfred 49 was a civil engineer. The three staff of servants were Sussanah Fry 25, Lavinia Fry 22 and Marie Nunnn__ly, who was named "Lady's Help."
Death 11 November 1937 ‎(Age 89)‎ Wray Lodge Wray Park Road, Reigate, Surrey, England
Burial Elmers End Cemetery, Beckenham, Kent, England


Note: The records indicate Addiscombe Cemetery, Kent, but the most likely place is Elmers End Cemetery, Beckenham, Kent. Addiscombe is very close but just over the county border in Surrey.
