The 1871 England Census stated that Emma was formally a seamstress and was born in Sheffield. She would have been born around 1846.
The 1871 England census was taken on the evening of 2 April and gives the Bland's address as being 58 North Street, Poplar, which was within the parish of All Saints Church (Church of England), East London. John is listed as a 'machine sawyer' and is married to Emma. Four children are listed: Frederick (10), Alfred (8), Charles (6), and Stephen (4). Several other people also lived in the home, including two widows, the son (8) of one of the widows, and the Griffin family (parents with three young children, ages 5, 3, and 2).
Frederick passed away in the 1st quarter of 1872. He was only 10 years old. Nothing is known of the circumstances surrounding his death, or where he is buried. It appears that Emma also passed away shortly afterward. The cause of her death and place of burial is unknown.
