Yes they emigrated to America.
I did a Family Tree check on Ancestry and there are several people who have posted information relating to Elijah, Emma, and their family. These people have contact addresses for anyone wanting any further information. There are also photographs of some family members.
There are also Family Tree entries for Elijah, Jane(Baglin), and their family, again with contact addresses.

I don't know if you're a subscriber to Ancestry, if you are you can contact the various people who have listed Herbert/Baglin/Baggs in their Family Tree, to get further information from them. If you're not a subscriber I can contact them for you, if that would help at all.
