- (Research):Elizabeth LATHROPE. Born 18 Feb 1854 at Slack End in Wibsey, North Bierley, Bradford, Yorkshire, she spent the first 3 or 4 years of her life there before moving to Deepcar, Stocksbridge, Yorkshire abt 1858, where her father Robert LATHROPE worked first as a hackle pinmaker(hacklepins were used in woolcombing machines) and then, after 1861, as a labourer as his employer, Samuel Fox, had ordered a change from hackle pin manufacture to steelmaking. After her mother died in 1867 her father emigrated with her to Utah, U.S.A., aboard the SS Colorado out of Liverpool in July 1868. She was then just 14 years old and had found herself having to bid farewell to her sisters, perhaps for ever. She married (1stly, on 14 Apr 1873), Michael BEUS (b.1854), of Utah. U.S.A, but he died 21 Sep 1879, where upon she married, 2ndly, abt 1881, his nephew David BYRNE (b. 20 Oct 1858 at Slaterville,Weber, Utah, he was the son of Michael BEUS' sister Anne), son of Moses BYRNE of Utah. With him she lived first at Uintah Flat near Ogden City, before they moved into a house originally built by Moses BYRNE at what is now 2014 Combe Road (5600 S) in South Ogden, Utah. Their extensive farm covered most of the salt flats. In later life they moved to Burch Creek(Jefferson Avenue). David BYRNE died on All Hallows, 31 Oct 1918 at Burch Creek, Ogden, and was buried in the City Cemetery there . After his death Elizabeth moved to Morgan, Utah where her son Robert was Roadmaster for the railroad and where they lived next door to each other at the north end of Main Street. She then moved to Peterson, Utah for some years, from whence she eventually returned to Ogden, the town to which she had first come after leaving Deepcar, England with her father . She died on 5 Mar 1930, and is buried in Ogden City Cemetery, Ogden City, Weber County, Utah. She had never seen her sisters again.
