Emma Kilby was born on the 4th of March 1840 in Islington London.
She ran away from home at the age of 14 because of a not so nice step father.
She worked as a servant, married Edwin George Kilby and had 3 children.
1870s fashion in European and European influenced clothing is characterised by a gradual return to a narrow silhouette after the full skirted fashions from the 1850's-60's.
