Elizabeth Connell was born in 1811 in Scotland. Her father was John Connell. She married James Cummock on 10th May 1830 in Abbey Parish, Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland.

Elizabeth sailed on the “Timaru” from Glasgow to New Zealand on 31st December 1874. The entry in the Otago Provincial Gazettes Passenger Lists 1875, page 133 reads; 13561 Cummock Eliza, 55 years, Housekeeper, Renfrew, “Timaru” 1875. Elizabeth would have been about 64 at the time of sailing, but probably gave her age as 55 to qualify as an assisted immigrant as there were age restrictions on those who were eligible.

Elizabeth was living at Castle Street, Dunedin, but passed away at Cumberland Street on 12th June 1892, aged 81 years.
