 Research Notes:
According to Beryl Flett, Elizabeth was a quakeress. Elizabeth was baptised on 14 July in Saint Saviour's Southwark London, then part of Surrey. She came to Australia between 1828-1835, possibly as a servant to a well to do passenger. There is no record of her in shipping lists.
Marriage Information:
Elizabeth married John O'Donnell, son of Hugh O'Donnell and Mary Lakeman, on 31 Jul 1835 in St. John's Anglican, Parramatta, N.S.W., Australia 1 2 3. (John O'Donnell was born in 1800 in Plymouth, Devon, England, christened on 10 Aug 1800 in Plymouth, Devon, England 7 and died on 8 Aug 1879 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia 8 9 10.)
Marriage Notes:
"At St. John's Church, Parramatta, on the 3rd instant, by the Rev. Samuel Marsden, Mr. JOHN O'DONNELL, of Kissing Point, Landholder, to Miss ADELINE [sic] PEACE CRABTREE, of London."
Note: both the bride's first name and the date (3 Aug) are at odds with other records.
Marriage Information:
Elizabeth also married William Adair McClarning on 14 May 1863 in United Presbyterian Manse, Ballarat, Victoria, Australia 4.
Marriage Notes:
It appears Elizabeth remarried in Ballarat. She married William Adair McClarning on 14 May 1863 at the United Presbyterian Manse, Ballarat. She claimed to be a widow, which was not true, so the marriage was bigamous. She also lied about her age, claiming to be 42 (actually about 49). William was a 32 year old miner from Rhode Is. USA. She died on the goldfields on 8 May 1871 at Sebastopol and is buried at the Ballarat cemetery under the name Elizabeth McClarning. |
