Elizabeth Nicklin and her children were listed in the photocopy of a
little family tree done by Harriet Thurtell about 1900-1910.

Additional information was received from Charlotte Angst Mackie in 1997.

A brochure prepared by Charlotte V. Mackie, of Guelph, Ontario, "Benjamin
Thurtell and Descendants" for the "Woodlawn Cemetery Self Guided Memorial
Walking Tour," Woodlawn Cemetery, 762 Woolwich Street, Guelph, Ontario,
Canada N1H 3Z1,shows that the oldest of their three children was only
seven at the time Elizabeth Nicklin Thurtell's husband, Benjamin Thurtell
Jr., died at Rockwood, Ontario, Canada on March 24, 1857, aged 31.
Following her husband's death, she moved the family to Acton, Ontario,
where her brother's had settled. She died at age 83 on December 18,
1914, at the home of Thurtell Brown and was buried in Fairview Cemetery,
Acton.

The Halton Local History index on the internet
(http://spartan.hhpl.on.ca/localhistory/forms.htm) shows that a death
notice for Mrs. Elizabeth Thurtell appeared in the "Acton Free Press" on
December 24, 1914, on page 2, column 1. A news article about her
appeared in the same issue on page 3, column 2. Another death notice
about Mrs. Elizabeth Thurtell appeared in the "Canadian Champion"
(Milton) on December 31, 1914, on page 3, column 6.
