Note

Baptized as Eliza Kavanagh, parents John Kavannagh & Elizabeth Scott. Sponsor Ellen O'Neill.
Nurserymaid at Rokeby Park, Teesdale, Yorks. in 1881. Age shown as 21, POB Leeds. She gave the wrong age and place of birth at her marriage, and mis-spelled her surname. Her place of birth is also shown as Leeds in subsequent censuses. Age at burial shown as 64.

Left her husband shortly before World War I, accompanied by her daughter Julia, as he was violent to her. She moved to Hesleden and took all his golden sovereigns with her in a hatbox. She took her husband to court for maintenance and Julia testified that he had been violent. One year to the day after she left him he turned up at her house and asked her back, though he was reluctant to take back Julia in view of her earlier testimony against him. However, he relented and the reunited family settled in Blackhall Rocks, near West Hartlepool.

Note

Bride's age wrongly shown as 23 (she was 30).
