Her parents were James Carey and her mother Rachael Morgan. She was born 5 Jun 1873 at Garndiffaith, Monmouth, England. She was baptized 3 Apr 1910 at Monmouth, Eng.
Emily was born in the lush green Country of South Wales. Fresh air and beautiful flowers grew all about. Her father was a tall man, with natural curly hair and a beard. Rachel Morgan lived in the same area as the Careys. James Carey age 32, Rachel Morgan 17 were married in the Parish of Aberystruth. Aberganenny district 6 Aug 1851. Evidently schooling was limited, as both signed the marriage certificate with a mark.
Twelve children came to bless the Carey home. 8 girls and 4 sons. One sister Catherine died at age 1 ½ years. The others grew to maturity, married and had families, except two brothers, John and Thomas, both died about age twenty.

The balance of the family followed in Oct 1910. Mother and her four daughters. The ship father and son sailed on was the S S Laurentic Apr 28, 1910. They arrived in Salt Lake City Utah 14 May 1910. As they were miners, and Winterquarters was a fine mine, they were advised by the mine inspector to settle there. Work at the mine was steady and there was a thriving ward. So Winterquarters was our first home in America.
