Narrative and Notes

According to her marriage license Elizabeth UNDERWOOD was born in 1738/9, however the only matching baptism was in June 1736. We know that Elizabeth was alive and named by 22 June 1738 as her grandfather Thomas WHEELWRIGHT left her £8, a ewe and a lamb in his will of that date, so the early baptism makes sense.

Elizabeth grew up in Rotherby in the County of Leicester with two older brothers and an older sister. Her parents were William and Mary UNDERWOOD. William was a church warden.

She married Thomas HASLEWOOD, carpenter from nearby Asfordby, on 15 Feb 1762 in Rotherby.

Between 1765 and 1779, she had nine children including eight daughters.

Elizabeth died in December 1780. This is confirmed in the record of the burial of her daughter Margaret in 1781.
