Elizabeth Waters (1796- )

Elizabeth and her widowed mother were living in the household of Gabriel and Ruth Blewett in Penzance when the 1841 UK census was taken. Elizabeth was Ruth's elder sister by a year. The census noted that she was of independent means. Elizabeth was still living in her sister's household when the 1851 census was taken, this time noted as 'maintained by her relations'. She was 54. In all probability she would have stayed on with Ruth in the years that Gabriel and the two elder Blewett sons were in Australia. She did not travel to Australia with Ruth in 1859. I have not found a death or marriage record for her, nor located her in the 1861 census.
