• On the 1900 census, her birth date is labeled May 1828. On her grave marker, there is no birth year listed. The census also provides her year of marriage and year of immigration, both of which occurred in 1853. She is listed as "Eliza Parkinson" on the ship passenger list. Richard and Eliza were likely married sometime in between their journey on the Ellen Maria and the time that the company report was recorded.

  She was rebaptized in Salt Lake City on 26 March 1854.
