Embroiderer, worked a sampler at Adelaide in 1851 and sent it to her English grandmother, Jane Lawrance, wife of Benjamin Lawrance, who lived in Mylor Churchtown, near Falmouth, Cornwall. The sampler starts with their names, then the names of their six children, including Elizabeth’s father Joseph Lawrance. Elizabeth, born at Parramatta NSW, married Job Clark of Kalangadoo at Mount Gambier, South Australia, when she was twenty (the groom was 24). They lived at Mount Gambier and vicinity and had eleven children (10 registered in SA). The sampler was at Witney Antiques, Oxfordshire, England in 2001, presumably for sale.
