Biography
Elizabeth (O'Maley) Bethune has Danish ancestors
Born in 1861 on Saint Croix in the then-Danish West Indies, where her father worked as a bank manager, she was the first child of Michael Rowland O'Maley and his first wife Julia Adriana Gyllich. Just over a year later her mother died after giving birth to her brother Julian and in 1868 her father remarried, giving her a stepmother and in time many half-sisters.
His last post was as manager in Georgetown, British Guiana, where the best man at the wedding of her best friend was the sugar planter George Maximilian Bethune. The two married in 1890 in the Anglican Pro-Cathedral, a temporary building to replace one damaged in a hurricane, and made their home on his estate of Enmore. Their seven children were either born there or during periods of leave in England.
In 1911 George retired, settling first at Lowestoft in Suffolk where the family was on 2 Apr 1911 with six of the children,[1] and then permanently at Bedford. She died there in 1930, in their home at 10 St Andrews Road, and was buried in the town cemetery. Probate was granted on 16 June 1930 for her estate of £1724.[2]
