Elizabeth Kilborn was born at Desborough about 1863, the daughter of James Kilborn and Mary Ann Liner. . Thomas died in 1868 when Elizabeth was only 5, and in 1877 Mary Ann married Thomas Bosworth, a retired innkeeper.

Elizabeth married George Yeomans in 1885 and died less than two years later in 1887, possibly following the birth of a daughter who also died. It is curious that there is no mention of her husband's name on her memorial.
