Other information
Elizabeth was born in number 2 Blackburn Avenue, Brough. (EAS) Had she been a boy, she was going to be called David. Oddly, none of her four younger brothers were given that name. Blackburn Avenue used to have a football field and bowling green on one side, and opposite that was a farm called Cranswick, where Elizabeth went picking cowslips as a child. Pinchbeck farm was nearby too. All turned over to housing by 2021. In 1940, when Elizabeth was about 1, the family moved to a General Store in Elleker. Apparently, on one occasion, Elizabeth fell head first into a sack of oats or grain and was pulled out by her grandad Walter. Just as well, or you wouldn't be reading this website now! (EAS)

When Elizabeth's youngest brother Trevor was born, she went to school excitedly saying "I've got another brother!". "Have you really??" was the sarcastic reply. (EAS)
