Birth

Elizabeth Burgoine was born around 1771 at St John De Sepulchre, Norwich, Norfolk (according to the 1851 census).

There is a record of an Elizabeth Burgoine baptised on the 17th November 1771 at Saint John de Sepulchre, Norwich, Norfolk, the father was John Burgoine, and her mother was Martha.

Marriage

Elizabeth Burgoine married Robert Chettleburgh in Lakenham on 17th February 1806.

Robert Chettleburgh of this Parish Bachelor and Elizabeth Burgoyne of the same, Spinster Married in this Church by Banns this seventeenth day of February in the Year One Thousand eight Hundred and six by me Charles Millard Vicar. This Marriage was solemnised between US The Mark X of Robert Chettleburgh and The mark X of Eliz Burgoyne In the presence of The mark X off Charles Root & Jon? Burgoine.

Banns had been read on the Sundays 12th January, 19th January and 26th January 1806.

Children

They had six children in Lakenham, two who died in infancy:

  • Sarah Chettleburgh, born 10th August 1806, buried 30th September 1806
  • Sarah Chettleburgh (mother of William Chettleburgh) born 6th December 1807
  • Robert Burgoyne Chettleburgh, born 5th June 1809
  • William Chettleburgh, born 24th March 1811 (presumably died soon after)
  • William Chettleburgh (Uncle to William Chettleburgh), born 22nd March 1812
  • Mary Chettleburgh, born ~1818, married James Jeffrey in 1845

Her husband, Robert Chettleburgh died on the Monday 15th April 1822 after a few minutes of illness, and was buried on the 19th April 1822 at Lakenham St John and All Saints. He was 51 years old.

It is likely that an article in the Norwich Mercury of 12th February 1825 refers to her predicament (only 4 of her children were alive at this point):

A Case of Real Distress
It is so common to hear all Appeals to the Bene-
volent and Charitable with "A Case of Real
Distress," that under some circumstances it might 
fail to produce the desired effect, but the Situation of
the WIDOW and FOUR CHILDREN of the late
MR. ROBERT CHETTLEBURGH, a man of strict
integrity, well deserves to be so termed.- He had, by
care and industry, acquired a handsome competency,
but forming a most unfortunate connection in busi-
ness he lost the whole of his property, his life perhaps
was shortened by mental suffering, and his Widow 
and Family left completely destitute.- An Appeal
under such circumstances to the affluent Charitable
of Norfolk and Norwich, has hitherto never been
made in vain.
Subscriptions received at all the Banks.

In 1841 she was a widow, living with her children Sarah and Mary, and grandson William (3), at Old Lakenham, two entries away from the mill.

By 1851 she is 79 and living at City Road, Lakenham, and is a glove maker (like her husband was). With her are her daughter Mary Jeffries (now married, and a wool spinner) and her grandson Edward Jeffries (5) which is a scholar.

By 1861 she is living at no. 18, City Road, Norwich (New Lakenham) with her son Robert Chettleburgh (52) who was a gardener and his wife Mary.

Elizabeth Chettleburgh was buried at St Johns and All Saints, Lakenham, on the 1st November 1863, she was 92 when she died (which matches her date of birth at around 1771).
