Elizabeth's father was Thomas Eddowes and her mother was Mary Ann Hughes. Her paternal grandparents were John Eddowes and Mary Whitfield. She had five brothers and six sisters, named David, Harry, George, Thomas, George, Emily, Ann, Louisa, Mary, Mary and Annie. She was the sixth oldest of the twelve children.

General Notes
- Elizabeth may have been in service in Wrexham for the Jesson family in 1891, although there was another Elizabeth Eddowes born in 1862 in Wrexham.
  
  This Elizabeth did NOT marry Edward William Caine in 1911. This was an older Elizabeth Eddowes, born in 1865 (also born in Birkenhead).
  
  I dont think she married WILLIAM HENRY REID either, as there's no match in 1911. It is believed that she married William Humphreys.
