Emily Green

ID#19542, (21 Dec 1835 - 25 Feb 1912)
  • Birth*: Emily Green was born on 21 Dec 1835 ?AUS (Emily either was not born in Tasmania, or lied about her age at marriage and said she was of consent, or the age of consent was 18, and she's the 28 Aug 1847 birth reg. to John GREEN and Jane LARSON bdm ref #1016 as Emily Ann - date from Betty is much earlier, but she doesn't give a place - and given she has 3 brothers and a sister in NZ, maybe she's a Kiwi - apart from 1835 being rather early for that?).1,2,3,4
  • Marriage*: Emily Green married Isaac Dawe, son of Isaac Smith Dawe and Bettsey Metters, on 30 Jun 1865 in TAS, AUS, #321 (both adults).1,5
  • LetterFull*: The full text of the letter Emily Green sent to Honor Rowe on 8 Dec 1894 from Gladstone, TAS, AUS, reads: My dear Sister I received your kind letter and ought to have answered it before this but I have been so ill lately I have not been able to write or do anything else. My dear husbands death was such a dreadfull shock to us all, it is a thing you do not easily get over it was so very sudden and so unexpected, for his health had been so much better. He had been quite free from his cough for a long time had not complained at all The Dr told me years ago that his lungs were affected he told me one lung was quite gone and the other very bad so I was always frightened of his catching cold fearing it would settle on his lungs, he had a bad cough was quite asthmatical for years but had been free from it for some time before his death we none of us thought there was anything the matter with his heart and I am sure he did not know it himself but that is what it was the heart suddenly stopped he had been as bright and well all the evening, we were talkikng and laughing together not five minutes before he had just settled himself comfortably on the pillow when I looked he was gone, he could not have had a pain for he never made a sound you would have thought he was peacefully sleeping. It was so awfully sudden I cannot get over it - he is never out of my thoughts. I cannot tell you how we miss him it does not seem like home without him poor fellow he was always so good and kind and ready to do anything to help another. He had not done any work for years only works in his garden when he felt inclined, he always was very fond of gardening. After his last failure in business he seemed to lose heart and had never done anything since.
    My boys have been such good boys they have worked and kept a comfortable home for us their father has always had every comfort, he has never wanted for a thing. I have three boys and three girls, two young men grown the youngest a lad sixteen just left school so you see they are all grown up able to do for themselves the eldest girl and boy are married, The youngest of Elizabeths boys, David is the best boy that ever lived he was only a little fellow in petticoats when I took him, he has always been as my own sown, I have had nothing but love and kindness from him, he thinks more of me than my own boys do, if that were possible, he is past thirty and not married God will bless him for the good boy he has been to me.
    If we are spared and All goes well I think it is very likely I may come to New Zealand shortly, three of my sisters and a brother are in Auckland they have long wanted me to pay them a visit so I think it is very likely I may go to them now should I do so I may have a chance of coming to New Plymouth when I could tell you all about them all better than I can by writing, Poor Isaac never would hear of my going to New Zealand, I tried very hard to get him to go there and start afresh, but he never would.
    My brother paid us a visit the Summer before last he badly wanted me to go back with him for a trip, but I could see Isaac did not want me to go, and I am so thankfull now that I did not go. I hope you will write to me agian, I shall be so glad to hear from you.
    Hoping you are all well and that you have all spent a pleasant and happy Christmas wishng you all a happy and prosperous New Year - with love to all from all
    Beleive (sic) me Your affectionate sister
    Emily Daw
    PS I think a letter addressed to William at Strathmore Mill Lymington would be sure to find him or you could put Mr W Daw Strathmore, Evandale, either would find him.4
