Elizabeth Hodgson was born about 1807 at Rochdale in Lancashire.

She married William Wilson, of Winton in Westmorland, in 1841.

Two children were born in Rochdale but the family moved to Desborough when William was appointed Vicar in 1846.

William's memorial is on another face of this monument, but it is badly weathered and illegible.
