Emily Holroyd's husband
According to one account, Emily Holroyd was married to a husband.
By 1898, the husband seemingly no longer had a role in Emily's life. Alice Guppy inquired to the whereabouts of him, wondering if he was deceased. Emily merely described her situation as "complex", neither confirming nor denying if her husband was alive. Alice chose not to ask further questions, not wishing to displease her.
