| Personal Notes: |
|
Elizabeth came from a fairly well off family. She married a miner which was regarded as beneath her and her family would have nothing to do with her for a long time, although she did keep in touch with her youngest sister Mary Jane (Polly). She was married three times, widowed twice and had to take in lodgers. She lived in Moores Lane, Standish.
Her last lodger, Anthony Gavin refused to stay in the house alone with a lady who was not married and rather than him find other lodgings she agreed to marry him. Elizabeth never came downstairs without her corsets on and at least 7 layers of underclothes, even in summer. She worked very hard and had a hard life. Because she was widowed and had to bring up four children on her own, she was very poor. Anthony was the maternal grandfather Doris Wane never had. They were very close. Elizabeth used to send Doris to the Shamrock very night with the smallest one of her three blue jugs for a ‘gill’ of beer for Anthony with his dinner. Anthony was Catholic and was delighted when Doris converted to Catholicism when she married James William Musker in 1940. Elizabeth was very gifted and could crochet intricate patterns just looking at something. A shop in Wigan used to draw the blinds to prevent her from copying the patterns from tablecloths, baby jackets, dresses, cardigans, chair covers etc.. She crocheted a dress for her grand-daughter Doris, in one night, for the Whit Walks after the dress she was supposed to wear did not fit her. She had a bad fall towards the end of her life. Her leg became ulcerated and infected and she never recovered. She is buried in Standish graveyard but does not have a headstone because her family were too poor. One of her brothers, Daniel, Hartley or John invented the colour Khaki which was used by the British army after the Zulu War until the present day. He made no money from inventing the colour, but the factory he worked for made millions |
