Elizabeth was the daughter of Joseph and Rebecca Redfarn (Redfern in some transcripts) She was baptised on January 20th 1805 at Holy Trinity church.
Elizabeth married widowed baker Joseph Hatcarton on 9th April 1833 at the church of St Andrew the Less. They had five children Eliza (1834-1890), Elizabeth (1835-1915), Rebekah (1837 – 1837), Joseph (1839-1862) and John Hutton (1845-1896). In 1839 Joseph scaled down his business, and the contents of the bakery shop were auctioned. It is not believed that he died until 1851, but he did not appear on the census records with the rest of the family in either 1841 or 1851. Elizabeth lived with the children at 2 Blucher Row (1841), 74 New Street (1851/61/71). From 1861 onwards she is marked on the census as being blind, and daughter Elizabeth was noted as being deaf. She died at 107 York Street aged 83 years.
