On 28 Feb 1841 Elizabeth was baptised in the Wingrave parish church: 'Elizabeth Ann daughter of William and Ann Rickard of Wingrave, Bricklayer'.
She had previously been recorded in the 1841 census for Wingrave in the household of William Rickard as Elizabeth Rickard aged 11 months.
Birth date estimated from census data.
Elizabeth was single and still living at home at the age of 40, at Little Aston, Wingrave, with her widowed mother, at the 1881 census. There were two other occupants of the house: Elizabeth's daughter, Elizabeth Rickard, aged 5; and a lodger, John Goss, a bricklayer aged 39.
Their immediate neighbours were Elizabeth's brothers Joseph and George and their wives and families, and her nephew Dan and his wife and family.
John Goss had previously boarded with Elizabeth's brother Joseph since 1861, when he was an apprentice bricklayer.
By the time of the 1891 census, Elizabeth's mother had died, and the occupants of the house were John Goss (49), his wife Elizabeth (49), and daughter Elizabeth Goss aged 15. However, in the 1901 census the daughter had reverted to her original name of Rickard. It is noted that mother and daughter had both acquired a middle initial: Elizabeth A Goss and Elizabeth A Rickard.
