Elizabeth, or Betty, as she was familiarly known, the fourth child and elder daughter of Peter Stuart Brown and Elizabeth Chapman, was born in 1875 or early 1876. Anecdotal evidence concerning her 80th birthday celebration moves this date forward to September 1876. Her birth certificate has not yet been located. A likely explanation for this is provided by the 1911 census return, according to which her place of birth was Ireland. She was entered as aged five at the time of the 1881 census. She never married. Elizabeth W. Stuart Brown was entered as one of the witnesses at the marriage of Henry Stuart Brown in 1916. This almost certainly refers to Betty. The ‘W.’ is not otherwise known but is very probably to be taken as an abbreviation for Waddell, inferring that as the elder daughter she was named after her maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Waddell. Under the terms of her late father’s 1907 Trust Deed and Settlement, in which she was named as a beneficiary, Elizabeth stood to inherit an equal share in her father’s estate along with her three brothers, Henry, Charles and George, and sister, Helen Eva, on their mother’s death in 1927. It is presumed that she actually did so. Betty’s 80th birthday celebration was held at West Priestgill, Strathaven, the home of Tom Park and Betty’s niece, Viva, during September 1956. In the course of this family gathering, the engagement of another of Betty’s nieces, Elizabeth Frances Stuart Brown, to Norman David McIntyre, was announced. Elizabeth Stuart Brown (single) died on 20th (24th according to her monumental inscription) September 1957 at one in the morning, at 54, Darnley Road, Glasgow. She was 81 years of age and the causes of death were certified as arterio-sclerosis, hypertension and angina pectoris. The informant was Tom Park, her aforesaid nephew-in-law, of West Priestgill, Strathaven.
