Census 1901:
31 Mar 1901 (age 78)
2 Vinrix Villa, Pill, Somerset5
The household consisted of Elizabeth, 2 of her daughters Sarah and Ellen, and her niece Emily Ray. Sarah, Ellen and Emily have not been included in the family tree. Elizabeth was living on her own means which indicates that either her husband had left her money or she had saved it during her married life. Her daughter Sarah was working on her own account as a newsagent and Emily was th assitant school mistress. They had the whole property which had more that five rooms, although the exact size is unknown, to themselves. It must have been a fairly 'up market' part of Pill as a Church of England clergyman lived next door but one.

1909 (age 86-87)
Pill, Somerset6
As her death was registered in the first quarter of 1909 in Long Ashton it is fairly certain that she died in the December 1908 or the beginning of 1909 in Pill probably at 2 Vinrix Villa where she had been living at the time of the 1901 Census.
