Elizabeth married Cornelius Hanbury (1796-1869) in Bristol, Gloucestershire on the 21st of November, 1826. In the following years, they had three children, one son Cornelius, and two daughters; Charlotte and Elizabeth, who were all born on Gracechurch Street, London.
Throughout Elizabeth’s long life, she witnessed so much English history. She was already 45-years old when Queen Victoria’s coronation took place in 1838. Elizabeth, having been the eldest subject of the Queen, died in Richmond on the 31st of October, 1901, at the age of 108. She was almost 26-years older than the Queen and she witnessed the Queen’s entire 63-year reign, and outlived her by 9 months. At the time of Elizabeth’s death, she was the oldest person in the United Kingdom, and one of the last surviving people from 18th century England.
Wow, is it known how old she was in the photo here?
who cares about outliving the queen, imagine going from a printing press to the locomotive and industrial revolution. It’s like us going from bikes to the moon
Crazy how she lived at the same time as George III and the Queen Mother. Time is weird

Her old age was achieved through stealing people’s souls. The eyes dont lie.
