Elizabeth was the wife of John Reeve. She is mentioned in his will and also appears in the parish records for this family. Elizabeth died before her husband's will was probated in 1842. She also doesn't appear on the census in 1841, so this fits with the burial from 1839. Her husband's probate record names Ambrose Reeve as brother-in-law and in Ambrose's will he refers to Elizabeth Reeves of Laindon as his sister. Her children are listed in the parish register and her husband's will.
