Young Delia's drawing of "Mummy" from her Juvenile Papers
Emmie Derbyshire née Dawson[1] was Delia's mother, wife of Ted Derbyshire and very deeply catholic.[2]
Some say her given name was Emma[3], others say it was Mary Amelia.[4] and the Derbyshires' 1939 census entry lists her as "Mary E."[5]
She died in 1994.[6]
