History
Emma Louisa Rozier was born at Marylebone, London, on 4 February 1873, the daughter of Stephen John Rozier, a carman, and his wife Lucy Susannah, and was baptised in the parish church (Christ Church) on 13 April.
In 1891, according to the census, she was working as a tailoress, and living with her family at 16 Warren Street, St Pancras.
In 1901 she was living with other women involved with dressmaking at 7 Endsleigh Terrace, St Pancras, and electoral registers indicate that she continued to live at St Pancras till the 1940s. Her death was recorded in Southwark district in the last quarter of 1949.
She was a friend of Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence, and may well have been involved in Maison Esperance, the dressmaking business established by her and Mary Neal. See PETH 7/82.
She was one of a group of suffragettes arrested outside the House of Commons on 20 March 1907 (see the Evening Express of the following day) and was sentenced to a fine of 20s. or fourteen days in prison.
