Question: Are there two Elizabeth Lewis merged in this profile? My personal family records show that there were two Elizabeth Lewis, though I have no birth information for either.

Elizabeth and John Harpur had at least eleven children between 1859 and 1879 in the general Mudgee area.

Elizabeth and Arthur Elms had at least six children between 1874 and 1882 in Armidale.

NSW BDM has marriage of Elizabeth Lewis to John B. Harpur, Mudgee, 2211/1858

NSW BDM has marriage of Elizabeth Lewis to Arthur Elms, Armidale, 1673/1874.

Possible death registrations:

Elizabeth Elms NSW BDM 11743/1887 Armidale.

Elizabeth Harpur NSW BDM 16084/1902 Tamworth.

I just added some info on the overview for Elizabeth Lewis, as I wasn't sure where else to put it.

Ancestry records
* 1858 John B HARPUR married Elizabeth LEWIS in 1858 Mudgee
* 1859 Margaret E HARPUR born 1859 Mudgee to John B HARPUR
* 1861 Annie HARPUR born 1861 Mudgee to John HARPUR and Elizabeth
* 1863 Mary E HARPUR born 1863 Patrick’s Plains to John B HARPUR and Elizabeth
* 1864 Augustus L HARPUR born 1864 to John HARPUR and Elizabeth
* 1869 John B HARPUR born 1869 Coonabarabran to John B HARPUR and Elizabeth
* 1871 Sophia J HARPUR born 1871 Coonabarabran to John B HARPUR and Elizabeth
* 1873 Jacqueline HARPUR born 1873 Gulgong to John HARPUR and Elizabeth
* 1874 Arthur ELMS married Elizabeth LEWIS in 1874 at Armidale
* 1875 George Washington HARPUR born 1875 Gulgong to John Benedict HARPUR and Elizabeth
* 1879 Margaret Janet HARPUR born 1879 Dubbo to John HARPUR and Elizabeth
* 1882 unnamed HARPUR born 1882 Tamworth to John B HARPUR and Elizabeth
* 1886 Johannes Benedict HARPUR born 13/9/1879 baptised 4/5/1886 Tamworth to Joanne’s Benedict HARPUR

* 1886 Jacobs Milton HARPUR born 1/6/1883, baptised 4/5/1886 Tamworth to Joanne’s Benedict HARPUR and Elizabeth LEWIS

Definitely 2 Elizabeth’s
Elizabeth 1 married HARPUR in 1858
Elizabeth 2 married ELMS in 1874 when Elizabeth 1 was still having children with HARPUR

I have separated them
Elizabeth Harpur
Elizabeth Elms
And added curator notes so they don’t get remerged

Thanks Leanne. I'll add the extra children for Arthur and Elizabeth Lewis. And I'll tidy up the overview notes for both the Elizabeth Lewis profiles.

I'll switch to my computer and add screen shots for the Harpur children
