Hi Ben, I found this profile via Elizabeth's husband (David's) profile listed in 'wiki/Category:Victoria_Needs_Birth_Source_Researched'. Don't think I've been able to help with sources much. I've retained 1 death certificate, as for the other, Elizabeth would have to marry around 5 years of age. Revamped the list of children into date order (it helps me get an idea of the family better). That's pretty much what you already have on husband (David's) profile. Hope I haven't trampled all over your work.

p.s. Just a thought... You may not need to have all the many newspaper article in son (David's) profile. There are quite a lot. Maybe keep one of the best ones? Perhaps just reference all the other articles you located? Good luck with growing your family tree.
