John Rush on 29th June 1846. Emily had three sisters, Annie, Mary Jane and Charlotte Eloise. Mary Jane was the only sister who married. Emily lived with her parents until their deaths and never married. Her father worked for the Post Office and by 1861 was Postmaster at Exeter.

After her mother died in 1890, Emily looked after her father with two of her sisters. Charles died in 1901 and the sisters separated, Emily went to London and Annie and Charlotte stayed in Worthing.
