Elizabeth Henry was born about 1855 in Ireland.

She married William Youll Wilson, a wheelwright, in 1880 and they had four children, one who died in infancy.

When Elizabeth signed the suffrage petition they were living in Gore.

William died in 1916 and Elizabeth died on 11 November 1946 – they are buried together in the Gore Cemetery.
