Mackie, of Guelph, Ontario, "Benjamin Thurtell and Descendants" for the "Woodlawn Cemetery Self Guided Memorial Walking Tour," Woodlawn Cemetery, 762 Woolwich Street, Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1H 3Z1,shows that the oldest of their three children was only seven at the time Elizabeth Nicklin Thurtell's husband, Benjamin Thurtell Jr., died at Rockwood, Ontario, Canada on March 24, 1857, aged 31. Following her husband's death, she moved the family to Acton, Ontario, where her brother's had settled. She died at age 83 on December 18, 1914, at the home of Thurtell Brown and was buried in Fairview Cemetery, Acton.
