The 45 next to Elizabeth's name indicated the 45th person listed in this book. The III says she was child #3. The 4 at the end of her names means she's in the 4th generation. If she had a listing of children , the number of her first would be indicated by a number in a (). By changing the page112 with page109 in the address bar, you jump to the start of the listings for the Children of William and Catherine Levering. They had 5 children. Here is, I believe, a good source for Elizabeth's parents and siblings. This book runs to over 900 pages and list more than 5600 people. Some of the later entries were still alive when the book was published.
