Emily Crees was baptised on 12th March 1820 at Pagham on the Sussex coast, daughter of a labourer named Thomas Crees and his wife Ann.

On 17th March 1839, aged about nineteen, Emily married Lot Bailey, who was also from Pagham. They appear in the 1841 census living with Lot's father at Nyetimber in the parish of Pagham. Between the late 1830s and mid 1850s they appear to have had at least eight children, all born in Pagham. The 1851 census finds them living with Emily's widowed mother in Pagham village, with Lot working as a farm bailiff. Emily and Lot were still in the village in 1861, although Lot was now described simply as an agricultural labourer.

By 1871 they had moved to the neighbouring parish of South Bersted, where they lived in the hamlet of North Bersted. Lot by this time had become a carpenter and thatcher.

Emily died in 1876, aged 56. She was buried back at her native Pagham on 23rd November 1876. Lot survived her by eighteen years and remarried two years after her death.

    This baptism has been linked to the Emily Crees who married Lot Bailey on the basis that their marriage record names her father as Thomas Crees, whilst in the censuses after their marriage Emily consistently claimed to have been born around 1820 in Pagham.
