Biography

Elizabeth was born about 1812, in Aberdour, Aberdeenshire. (see research notes)

She married John Cheyne (1799-1877), in 1831 in Lonmay, Aberdeenshire ^[1]

She died on the 6th Dec 1883 and is buried with her husband in New Deer Churchyard, Aberdeenshire ^[2]

Research Notes

Elizabeth's birth date and place information is taken from Census and her Death record. It is uncertain as to who her parents would be, possibly her birth wasn't registered or has gone missing.. however a search of ScotlandsPeople show that William Lawrence and Christian Bruce were the only Lawrence/Laurence family having children at this time in Aberdour, and show only 2 births recorded (Barbara b:1805 and William b:1809) so it's very possible there were more children
