Biography

Elizabeth was born in 1802. Her christening record dated 25 July 1802 in Holt, Denbighshire, Wales cites her parents as Thomas Price and Diana Price. An as-yet unverified source names her mother as Diana Parsonage, born 1771.

Another as-yet unverified source records that she may have had a brother Thomas Price (born 1801), a sister Margaret Price (1805-1891) and a sister Anne Price (born 1806).

On 6 November 1821 she married James Edelsten in the parish church of St Chad in Holt, Denbighshire, Wales. Her spouse is described as a pin manufacturer. Her sister (?) Margaret Price signed the record as a witness, as did a Frederick Japaman (?)

The 1841 England Census records her, age 40, living with her husband James (age 40, pin manufacturer), and children Priscilla (age 18), Price (age 15), James (age 13), John (age 10), Thomas (age 9?), William (age 6), Edward (age 5), Margaret (age 3) plus servant Hannah Bennett (age 20).

The 1851 England Census records her, age 50, living with her husband James, age 50, wire manufacturer), sons Price James (age 24), John Lowe (age 20) and William Joseph (age 15) The address is shown as 7 Winwick Street, Warrington. The Flett family reunion book of 2006 describes the house they lived in as "the Elizabethan house in King Street...just behind the Central Railway Station in Warrington." This may well be the current "Kings Head" pub and hotel.

On 5th May 1860 she filed a petition for "judicial separation" from her husband James. His response was filed 15th June 1860. It would seem the separation did not proceed, as in the census taken the following year on 7th April 1861 she is still recorded as James' wife and living with him in the same household.

In her 1860 application for separation she states she and her husband "have had issue of their said marriage fifteen children of whom seven only survive to wit five sons and two daughters."

The 1861 England Census records her, age 61, living with her husband James Edelsten (age 61) and her son Edward Henry Edelsten (age 24) and Susan Dormon (age 39) at 27 Mansion Home, Warrington in the ecclesiastical district of St Peter's. Her birthplace is recorded as "Dengbingshire, Wrexham".

The 1871 England Census records her, age 70, widow, living with her son Edward Henry Edelsten (age 38, occupation "Wiremanufactury"), his wife Elizabeth (age 30), "unmarried sister" M.A. Rickard (age 26) and "unmarried sister" Helen Rickard (age 22). The address is shown as 26 Murray St, Hoxton, Hackney, ecclesiastical district of St Mary Hoxton.

She passed away on 4 May 1877, age 77. Her death was recorded in St. Asaph, Denbighshire, Wales.
