Research Notes

Arrival in Australia: We know Elizabeth and her parents migrated to Australia in 1871 but as they were in the 1871 Census in England it must be after 2 April 1871.^{[3] [12]}

Birth records have her middle initial as R perhaps for her paternal grandmother's maiden name of Richards but latter records have her middle name as Ann.
