Also see General Notes for Thomas Henderson which give a good overview of his and Elizabeth's lives in Australia.
Noted events in her life were:
1. Baptism, 10 Oct 1824, Brampton, Cumberland, England. 2 Elizabeth's parents were William and Sarah Hall.
2. Life After Thomas: This is a brief description of Elizabeth's life after THomas died in 1862, 1862, Adelaide, South Australia. Thomas and Elizabeth Henderson had ten children, five dying in infancy. At the time of Thomas' death Isaac, the oldest, was 18 years old and William, the youngest, was four years.
On Thomas' death Elizabeth became licensee of the Vine Inn where she was held in high regard and known fondly as "Mother Henderson". She remained there until 1874 when William was 16 years old. She then leased the Inn and bought Wattle Grove at Magill, a large house on 40 acres, and lived there until she moved to Seventh Avenue, St Peters some time between 1879 when her oldest son Isaac died and 1884 when his widow died. Isaac's family lived with her after his death and she reared his two children after their mother died. It seems that Isaac's daughter Winifred, a spinster, lived with Elizabeth at St Peters at the time of Elizabeth's death on 30th June 1916 aged 92.
Her youngest son William Hall Henderson lived nearby with his family at Athol Lodge, Fourth Avenue, St Peters.
Elizabeth's brothers are frequently mentioned in the Henderson story, especially Isaac whose wife Martha and daughter Sarah (died aged 12 years) are buried in the Henderson grave at Hindmarsh Cemetery.
Elizabeth married Mr Thomas HENDERSON, son of Isaac HENDERSON and Peggy COOK, on 27 May 1843 in St Johns Church, Halifax St, Adelaide, South Australia.1 (Mr Thomas HENDERSON was born about 1812 in Knockin, Shropshire, England, died on 25 Apr 1862 in Vine Inn, Glen Osmond, Adelaide, South Australia 1 and was buried on 26 Apr 1862 in Hindmarsh Cemetery, Adelaide, South Australia Upper A 25/26.)
