EMILY COVINGTON born Mar qtr 1892 at Maldon, Essex (4a 554)
Father: Joseph Edward
Mother: Mary Freeman

Two of Joseph & Mary's children were taken to Canada by Dr Bernado's on the Ship "Dominion" - info is contradictory as it shows Emily aged 10 leaving Liverpool on 24 May 1906 arriving Quebec to Toronto 3 Jun 1906, and her brother Ephraim leaving Liverpool 23 Sep 1903 aged 11 arriving Quebec to Toronto 2 Oct 1903. Perhaps there was a good reason for making them out to be younger. [Source: Covingtons history generation report - created by Martin H Covington 1983 updated Sep 2012.]

Update 17.03.18 by Lyn 8 Emily's d.o.b 10/10/1893 admitted to WH at Fir Vale 29/3/1906, taken in by NSPCC.
