If your interested Emily Yeats married Thomas Vivian Carhart. Emily was a nurse during WWI
and Thomas was a private in the British army. They had 13 children, my grandmother is one
of them- she's 87 now. They moved to Carsonville, New Brunswick, Canada in the early
1930s. Emily died in 1991 at the age of 96.
Emily was the only child of Elizabeth Sweet and Shino Yeats. Elizabeth worked as a
cleaning woman for a Viscount, I'll try and find his name. When Emily was young,
probably 12 or 13, the Viscount and his wife took her in as a nanny for their children and
in return put her through school and nursing school. Elizabeth let her go because she
didn't really want to be a mother- but she was a nice lady- she moved to Canada in the
1950s, Emily went back for her. We have no proof that this story is true except that she
was really a nurse, she delivered many babies in my hometown, Sussex, New Brunswick.
