Evidence has now been found that Emma did bear at least one daughter, who
attested a charter with Emma after Richard's death. See Eleanor Searle's
*Predatory Kinship*, a book about the formation of the duchy of Normandy.
Sorry I don't have the full title at hand, but this much, and the author's
name, should be enough to let anybody find it in an electronic catalog.
Searle indicates no marriage for the daughter.
