Date of Birth: about 1731 or about 1735.

Elizabeth’s monumental inscription gives her age at death as 67 years, but according to her husband (under oath) at the time of the marriage bond (29 February 1760), she was aged 24.

Date of Death: 28 December 1798.

Elizabeth’s monumental inscription gives the date of death.

Date of Burial: 2 January 1799.

Place of Burial: Burton-Dassett, Warwickshire.

Elizabeth’s burial is recorded in the parish register.

Relationships

Father: unknown.

Mother: unknown.

The most likely parents I have come across are George Nichols and Sarah, who had a daughter Elizabeth baptized 10 November 1734 in Alkerton, Oxfordshire, about 8 miles from Burton Dassett. Some corroborating evidence would be necessary to be reasonably certain that these parents are correct.

Spouse: William Yerrow (about 1736 - 1810). Married 29 February 1760 in Burton-Dassett, Warwickshire.

The parish register records the marriage.
