| Note | Most records for Elizabeth show her given name as such. Her baptism record, however, shows her as Susan Elizabeth Lincoln. The Wesleyan Methodist baptism page is titled Brantford Township, and while entries on it show places of birth and baptism as Brantford, Brantford Township is probably correct. Her date of birth is shown as May 15, 1843, and her date of baptism is shown as December 29, 1843. The officiating clergyman was H. Bigger. Note that the 1851 census shows Elizabeth as age 9. First, the 1851 census was not actually begun until January of 1852, and the age question, as asked, was: What is your age as of your next birthday. Given the information presented in the Wesleyan Methodist baptism record, Elizabeth's age as 9 as of her next birth, May of 1852, will be correct. (This question was probably not always asked or answered as required.) Images of the Wesleyan Methodist baptism pages may be found at bowergenealogy.ca, an excellent resource. A death registration for Elizabeth Lincoln Howell has not been found. She is buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Brantford, with Alexander. Her portion of the inscription reads: Elizabeth Lincoln wife of Alexander Howell died Oct 2 1873, aged 30 yrs. |
