I found Emma's brother George in the 1861 census. I was hoping that, maybe, Emma would show up as visiting there, but no such luck (checked all through to the 1911 census).
George Cook age 22 born 1839 agricultural labourer born South Searle Lincolnshire
Sarah Cook wife age 26 born 1835 born Wellingore Lincolnshire
Sarah Ann Cook age 1 born 1860 born Wellingore Lincolnshire
Henry Cook son age 1 month born 1861 born South Searle Lincolnshire
Her brother Thomas moved to Yorkshire. I found him there, married, in the 1881 census. He was living with a nephew John H. Smith born 1862 Sheffield and a niece Kate E. Thompson born 1876 Sheffield.

Very possible. Did you see the newspaper entry that was posted by Coromandel? I've copy and pasted the post below.
William's wife Esther had died just a few days previously. The census was taken on 7 April 1861. The Nottinghamshire Guardian of Thursday 4 April 1861 published a report an inquest, held at the George & Dragon on the previous Thursday, into the death of 'Mrs. Esther Redgate, wife of Mr. William Redgate':
whilst washing herself, about eight o'clock on the night of Wednesday, suddenly sighed heavily, and immediately fell to the ground. She was promptly attended to by the servant and a woman named Woodhouse, who was present at the time, and Dr. Bourne was sent for, but before his arrival deceased had expired. She never spoke after falling to the floor. Mr. Bourne was of opinion that the cause of death was disease of the heart; the jury consequently returned a verdict of "Sudden Natural Death."
So, you have an exact date of death for Esther, 3 April 1861.
It makes sense that the widower William may have had an affair, what with losing his wife so suddenly.
