On their deaths their estate was passed to Eliza's niece, Henriette Collins Biggs, wife of Charles Biggs. Eliza Louisa Emmerson is interesting as she was the patron to the poet John CLare and many of his letters to her are missing. I'm currently doing a dissertation on this subject and after exhausted all other possibilities the only hope I have of finding any correspondence between Clare and Emmerson lies in their connection to the Biggs. Any help out there would be much appreciated.
