1871 - Elizabeth 19 married William Thoburn I 22, labourer, on May 29, 1871 in Newcastle on Tyne. Their residence is listed as New Pandon Street, Newcastle. William signed his name but Elizabeth could only make her mark. Witnesses were William Lawson and Annie Taylor. Source is Thoburn bible, UK BMD Marriage Index and 1871 marriage certificate. However, cannot find her as Thoburn in 1871 UK census which was conducted later in the year.

The older children have either left home or died (William Robert, the eldest of the 14 children, died in 1874, George may be away at the war in South Africa, Elizabeth is away from home and William Thomas died in 1887).
