Lizzie had a twin brother Joseph. Their mother died at their birth, and their father, a storekeeper at Sunny Corner, died when they were young. Even Lizzie did not know her parents names. She was fostered by Sophia West/Palmer (189408020), Durham St Bathurst who came out on the ship the Castilian, along with Lizzie's mother. It is highly likely that Lizzie's name at birth is her adopted name, not that of her parents.
Her twin brother, Joseph (123795703), was fostered by Smith family, farmers out of Goulburn. He married Alma Schunemann in 1912 in Bellingen. (information provided by Lizzie's granddaughter)
