Elizabeth Rowsell (1818 - 1820)

St. George's Church, Wilton, Somerset

Elizabeth Rowsell was baptized in the Church of St. George in Wilton, Somerset on September 6, 1818. She was the daughter, and second child, of John Rowsell (1792 - 1854) and Maria (nee Moor).

Elizabeth had 5 siblings.











No record has been located of Elizabeth subsequently being married, or having children, suggesting that she may have died at an early age. Further, John and Maria named a subsequent child Elizabeth. St. Mary Magdalene records a burial on July 19, 1820, of 2 year-old Elizabeth "Rowsall".  If that infant was our Elizabeth, then we know that poor Maria would have been heavily pregnant with Mary Anne at the time of baby Eizabeth's passing. Isabella would have been 4 years old then, as well, providing some comfort to the grieving family.
