Elizabeth was the youngest daughter of William Burdett and his wife Catherine Smith. On 23 Jan. 1858 she married Frederick Sutton in Nottingham, probably in St. Nicholas parish where she was living with her mother in 1861, Frederick having apparently died. Between 1861 and 1868, Elizabeth and her mother emigrated to Philadelphia, as had a Elizabeth's father, brother Henry, and sister Sarah before them.
In Nottingham, Elizabeth was a milliner, but when she came to Philadelphia and married Matthew Godber, she became a baker like her husband. An elderly cousin recalled his parents saying Elizabeth "ran a fancy French bakery". It might have been located at her residence, 1229 Locust St. where she lived from 1868 until her death.
Elizabeth had no children of her own, but evidently had a close relationship to Matthew's two youngest daughters (whom Elizabeth helped rear); they are each listed as "daughter" rather than "stepdaughter" in the 1880 census of Elizabeth's household.
Elizabeth must have been responsible for the Burdett family monument at Mt. Moriah Cemetery, as the large name on the monument's base is her married name--Godber.
