Elizabeth's surname, Burnley, as written on the registration might be almost anything. An index to be found on the website for the Brantford Expositor shows her name as Burnley. Also, the couples marriage record is to be found in the marriage records of Grace Anglican Church, Brantford, and this gives her family name as Burnley.

The registration appears to write George's family name as Shuttlesworth, but the marriage registration in the Grace Anglican Church records as well as census records, make it clear that the name was Shuttleworth. The Grace Anglican record also provides George's middle name as Howard.

BurialShe was buried on 17 November 1944 at Farringdon Burial Ground, Brantford. 
NoteElizabeth was baptized at Grace Anglican Church on 27 December, 1857. Her name is spelled in the record and transcribed as Burnely. This dates her birth to 26 April, 1856.
