            <text>Emmeline Wilkins was married to a retired stockbroker, (see) Edward Wilkins, and they had two sons. They had lived in Cheltenham since the late 1880s and had founded the Vegetarian Society there in the early 1990s (possibly also the Anti-Vivisection Society). Emmeline appeared as the NUWSS representative in a 1907 delegation to the local MP but became a member of the WFL when it was set up in the town. She appeared on its platform a number of times, most notably at a rowdy meeting in the Town Hall in 1908 when the national leaders, Charlotte Despard and Teresa Billington-Greig, were attacked by heckling opponents. In 1911, both she and her husband were probably living at 'Glenroy' - now in Sydenham Villa's Road - but evaded the census and were listed by name only by the enumerator at a Food Reform Guesthouse (see image) &#13;
 down the road where they seemed to have spent periods of time, together with its proprietor (see) Charlotte Bardsley (also a WFL activist). Researcher/contributor: Sue Jones author of 'Votes for Women: Cheltenham and the Cotswolds' (The History Press, 2018).</text>
