Elizabeth ROYCE 3 4
- Christened: 28 Feb 1802, Terling, Essex, England 3 4

- Buried: 22 Jun 1838, At sea from the "Amelia Thompson" 3
 Cause of her death was Typhus.
General Notes:
How heart-breaking for Elizabeth to lose her daughter in 1833 to horrific burns, then on the voyage to Australia to have her son William (age 12) die. The fear she must have endured wondering if she would lose her whole family to sickness and desperately searching for ways to keep them safe. Her baby, Richard (2yrs), died one month after Elizabeth so the father and two older girls - Sophia and Sarah - must have had to nurse him.
We have been fortunate in tracing descendents of Elizabeth Royce's ancestors, who live in New Zealand.
