Baptized on April 8, 1751 at Saint Thomas Church in Portsmouth, and buried on Dec. 21, 1809 at the age of 59 in "vault no. 7, with iron rails" at Wesley's Chapel on City Road in London. Computer records at the chapel add the following information: Elizabeth Mary Beardmore - Buried Decem. 21, 1809 - aged 59. Died Decem. 15 - No. 5 Canterbury Place.

According to the writings of Mary Owen Beardmore (1813-1891), the Beardmore Family Vault (i.e., vault no. 7) was located, "near the northern boundary wall of the graveyard of the City Road Chapel & within a few steps of the burial place of the Rev. John Wesley is a vault of the Owen & Beardmore family. Eight members of the family lie in this vault." These graves were moved elsewhere sometime between 1972 and 1978 during extensive renovations of the chapel. When a member of the family in 1990 made inquiries to the staff at the chapel as to where the graves had been moved, the information did not seem to be available.
