Noted events in her life were:
• Immigration: on the ship 'Caroline', 12 Sep 1828, Sydney. 7
Elizabeth married Lancelot Sanderson, son of Lancelot Sanderson and Anne Singleton, on 27 Mar 1828 in London, ENG.1 (Lancelot Sanderson was born on 28 Jan 1802 in Gainford, DUR, England, UK 8, christened on 5 Feb 1802 in Gainford, DUR, England, UK, died on 16 Oct 1861 in Morpeth, Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia 9 and was buried on 18 Oct 1861 in Morpeth, Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia 10.). The cause of his death was Brights disease (kidneys).6
Marriage Notes:
After the death of his first wife Ann and then his father in 1827, Lancelot appears to have decided to leave his home with Elizabeth Stamp, also from the parish of Staindrop, and go to London where they were married before emigrating to Australia.
That they did so away from their families is probably the reason their eldest son, George, later claimed his father was 'the black sheep'.
Lancelot's grandson, Frederick Sanderson, claimed that according to the family, his grandfather 'married beneath his station'. Given that Elizabeth's grandmother was from the very wealthly Maude family (with possible links back to royalty) this is probably the wrong way around.
The 1828 Australian Census states Lancelot Sanderson a servant to Jno. Howden of Elderslie, Upper Minto. Jonathan Howdon had apparently leased some land at Elderslie from John Cox. William A. Bailey in his book 'Uplands Pasture. A History of Crookwellshire' quotes from letters written by Jonathan Howden which are now held by the Mitchell Library of N.S.W.
It is doubtful that Elizabeth accompanied Lancelot on this expedition especially as their first child, Ellen, had been born on the 2nd April 1829 at Elderslie. Their second child, Jane, was baptised at Narellan and Lancelot was listed as being overseer to Mr Dixon. Jane's birthplace, 'Noanorah' at the Cow pastures, was a 3,000 acre grant to John Dixon on 10th June 1816, a proportion of which was acquired by Thomas Barker in the 1830's. Thomas Barker also owned 'Mummel' on the Goulburn Plains where George, was born, so perhaps Lancelot may have now been employed by Thomas Barker.
In 1867 several letters passed backwards and forwards between Alexander Wilkinson and Anthony Sanderson, Lancelot's brother who remained in England. A right of way on the Hinbury Farm in Durham England was in question and the settlement was protracted. Both Lancelot and Elizabeth's wills and their children's birth certificates were wanted by the solicitors for the Duke of Chester, who was making the claim, to prove the title. That in its self must have proved difficult as registration of births in Australia did not start until 1856 whereas in England it began in 1836. They may have made do with baptism certificates as their six surviving children were all born well before 1856. Another of Lancelot's brothers, Robert, had also died and apparently left cottages on Hinbury to the four sons of Lancelot and Elizabeth. The deeds of these cottages were to be made with the farm so as to cut down the expense of separate deeds. The problems were eventually solved and the matter concluded when the Duke bought the estate. Then beneficiaries received a share of 500 pounds each.
in St Georges Church, Bloomsbury Square.

England & Wales, Index of Wills and Probates, 1853-1943 (MyHeritage), Surety: 4. The England & Wales Index to Grants of Probate and Letters of Administration, 1853-1943, collection spans an important development in English probate law. Prior to 1858, grants of probate and lettersof administration fell under the jurisdiction of the ecclesiastical courts of the Church of England: primarily the Prerogative Court of York and the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. This collection contains an index of grants of probate and letters of administration made in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury from 1853 to 1857. As the highest ecclesiastical court, the Prerogative Court of Canterbury was responsible for probating the estates of an individual meeting any of the following criteria:<ul><li>High level of personal wealth</li><li>Property in more than one diocese in the Province of Canterbury</li><li>Property in both the Province of York and the Province of Canterbury</li><li>Diedoutside of England, but owned property in England</li></ul>Therefore, it was very uncommon for an individual to have enough wealth or property for a grant of probate or letter of administration to be made in the Court of Canterbury. If an individual is foundin the Grants of Probate and Letters of Administration made in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, it may be possible to find a copy of their will at the <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/help-with-your-research/research-guides/wills-1384-1858/">National Archives of England</a>.The Court of Probate Act of 1857 created a new civil court that centralized all grants of probates and letters of administration, effectively transferring all jurisdiction from the ecclesiastical courts of the Church of England to Her Majesty’s Court of Probate. The majority of records in this collection are dated after 1857 and were therefore administered in the Court of Probate. Even though this act centralized the administration of estates, it was still uncommon for an individual to leave a will to be probated. Therefore, this collection remains a good substitute for, or supplement to, the death records of relatively wealthy individuals.This collection is an index of a variety of legal documents but is composed of primarily four document types:<ol><li>Grants of Probate: Legal documents that authorize the executor(s) to administer a deceased individual’s estate according to the provisions of the will.</li><li>Letters of Administration: Legal authority for the executor(s) to administer a deceased individual’s estate when no will was made prior to death.</li> <li>Scottish Confirmation: The Scottish equivalent of a grant of probate.</li><li>Eik to a Confirmation: A supplementary document to an existing confirmation for additional assets not listed in the original confirmation.</li></ol> This collection does not contain any copies of the original wills. However, it may be possible to find the copies of wills for individuals found within this index. For individuals who died in England, in or after 1858, their wills may be found by <a href="https://www.gov.uk/search-will-probate">searching the records of the United Kingdom</a>. For individuals who died in Scotland before 1926, their wills may be found through a paid search of <a href="https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/">ScotlandsPeople</a>. While primarily composed of individuals who were living in England and Wales, this collection does include the information of deceased persons living throughout the British Empire, as long as the decedent owned property in England or Wales. While relatively few in number, this collection contains records of individuals who resided in the following countries: Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, France, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal, Greece, Jersey, Isle of Man, South Africa, Guernsey, Prussia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Russia, Canada, United States of America, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, India, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Egypt, China, Japan, Singapore, East Indies, Burma, Turkey, Malta, West Africa, Nairobi, East Africa, Syria, Nigeria, Uganda, Monaco, Guyana, Mauritius, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Algiers, Canary Islands, Mesopotamia (Iraq), Macedonia, Cuba, Chile, Brazil, Peru, Jamaica, Mexico, Barbados, Trinidad, Argentina, and the West Indies. ....
