Elizabeth Harrington

Elizabeth Harrington

She was born c. 1805 in St. Luke's, a district in central London in the borough of Islington, the daughter of John Harrington. The first reliable evidence to date is the 1841. census when she is recorded, aged 40 years living at Belvedere Road, St. Mary, Lambeth, and employed as a female servant to Ann Cox, whose occupation was timber merchant. She was the widow of Henry Cox, a timber merchant, late of London. They married on 22 November 1810 at Hampstead Norreys where Ann was born. From the 1851. census Elizabeth and Ann were visiting George Basing's family. George Basing was a master saddler and harness maker operating from 6 Market Place. He was married to Martha Trumplet, Ann's sister.
The 1861 census records that Elizabeth Harrington had become the companion to Ann Cox, and they were living next door to the Basing family in the Market Place. Elizabeth (aged 57) and Ann (aged 73) were fundholders. Lodging with them was Henry Ledbitter, also a fundholder from London. Elizabeth died, unmarried at the age of 60 years, on 13 March 1865 at the residence of Messrs. R. & J. Basing, the sons of George Basing — Richard and John Edward who had taken over the saddler and harness making business.

She was buried in a consecrated private grave on 17 March.

Ann Cox continued to live in Newbury, and she died at her home in Market Place on 13 March 1879 at the age of 92 years. She is not buried in the Cemetery. Mrs. P. Code LN (X) 2, page 114. Sources: 1841/1851/1861 census; Death Index 10 1865.
