Elizabeth Hanson was probably born in the early 1730s, and she was possibly born in Yorkshire, in England.
In 1757 Elizabeth married Charles Kitson, a 22 year old from Leeds, in the West Riding of Yorkshire,[1] on the 17th of October in Saint Peter's, in Leeds, Charles' home town.[2]
Elizabeth and Charles had at least four children together who were John (1758),[3] Joseph (1760),[4] Francis 'Fanny' (1762),[5] and Elisabeth (1767),[6] who were all born in Leeds, and who were all christened there in Saint Peter's, except for Elisabeth who was christened in Saint John's, which was also in Leeds.
Between 1758 and 1762 Elizabeth and her family were living in the parish of Saint Peter's,[7][8] in Leeds, and at some point before or during 1767 they moved to the parish of Saint John's, which was also in Leeds.[9]
