General Notes:
Edward Dix, born in 1828, worked as a framesmith, a role that must have evolved naturally from the work of the blacksmith in a local community which was heavily dominated by lace making factories needing engineering support. In 1854 he married Emma, the eldest daughter of William and Mary Markham who operated the nearby Commercial Inn. This was another relatively short marriage of some twelve years which ended with Edward's death at the early age of 37 and Emma left with seven children to raise - but, she did have the wider family to call on. Apart from the immediate support that would have been available from her parents, Emma was the oldest of five sisters whose marriages had added further strength to the family's evident, strong mutual support network:
Harriett, married Edward Bloodworth, a victualler in Birmingham
Selina married John Cannam who kept the White Swan and the Wheatsheaf in Whetstone, Leicestershire
Amelia married Charles Crane, a Nottingham grocer
and
Rosa was to marry Maurice Boot, from a Lenton family of publicans and to run the Commercial after the death of her parents - and to later become the second wife of William Thornhill.
The sisters were clearly very close, even using each others' family names - Markham, Crane, Bloodworth - as middle names for their children. Emma was to move within this network, giving assistance and receiving support over the years, until eventually she herself took over as landlord of an inn in Whetstone, up to her death there in 1898.
