Her father was James Allan and shehad many brothers and sisters - Dick, Joe, Jim, Will, Alec, Harry, Agnes Jeanand Effie. She first met her future husband, George Malcolm Thomson, in 1871 inDunedin when she was nearly nineteen and a pupil at a girls school. They alsosaw each other at Knox church. They married at "Hopehill" on 26 December 1876. Through amarriage settlement arranged between the Allans and Thomsons a house wasprovided for them in Dunedin. Both Emma and George enjoyed music and played and sang together.Emma had also won a music prize at school. She went on botanical excursionswith George and helped him find new ferns for his collection. When George became master of the Otago Boys High School boardingestablishment, he and Emma moved in there in January 1878 to receive theboarders. Emma saw to the staff and attended to the list of washing, cleaningand mending for her own household and the round of calls expected of a lady inher social position. She attended meetings with George and joined a group of ladies whomet regularly for literary evenings where great books were discussed. In July 1878 their first child was born, William Malcolm, and thenin July 1881, James Allan, named after Emma's father. When George was accidently shot in the foot by a pupil whileteaching school cadets in September1882 he was unable to work for four months.Emma helped George in his study of crustaceans. During this time she had allthe burden of the boarding house and gave birth to another son, Stuart. Lateron she had daughter, Florence. Unfortunately this child died at 10 months in1886 when Emma had to leave her with a nurse for a few nights. Two morechildren were born also, Annie in 1887 and John in 1892. 1892 was a difficult year again as George's foot was troubling himagain and Emma once more looked after the boarding house for the months that hewas not at work. She became very unwell and was diagnosed as havingtuberculosis. After a long illness she finally died on 21 July 1894.
