Biography

Elizabeth Paul Duffus was born on 28 February 1832 in Gloucestshire, ENG.1 She and Robert Cecil Taylor were married in 1866 in Mangonui, Northland, NZ.1 She died on 20 May 1908, at age 76, in Auckland, NZ.1
6 children see TAYL
On 16 May 1838, Elizabeth sailed for Australia with her parents from England by the sailing ship "Eden", a little girl who was destined later to become one of New Zealand's early pioneers. She was Elizabeth Paul DUFFUS, the eldest daughter of the Rev'd John DUFFUS, M.A., Oxon., who was under appointment to the Australian Anglican Church.

In 1848, after 10 years spent in NSW, the family came to NZ in search of a more congenial climate.
For some time they lived in Auckland, later moving to the North, where a permanent home was made at Mangonui.

There Elizabeth met and later was married to Robert Cecil TAYLOR, youngest son of the Rev'd Richard TAYLOR, M.A., Cambridge, one of the best known of the C.M.S. Missionaries to N.Z.

Richly endowed with personal gifts of heart and mind, including a rarely keen sense of humour, Elizabeth Paul Duffus TAYLOR buoyantly faced all the limitations and hardships of early NZ life.

She passed away on 20 May 1908 leaving to those who knew her a priceless memory of love and light-hearted courage based upon an intense faith in an over-ruling Power.

(From the preface of "Twilight Musings" by Elizabeth P D Taylor)

She also died in Auckland, and is buried in Purewa Cemetery. Probable cause of death - senility.
Next of kin is given as Rev E D McFarland, MtEden. He was the husband of her sister, Frances Maria PAUL.

Grave - double plot, grassed, with white marable cross.
"In Loving Memory of Elizabeth Paul TAYLOR, eldest daughter of the late Rev. John DUFFUS, M.A.; born Feb. 28 1832, d. May 20 1908." Elizabeth Paul Duffus immigrated to AUS to Auckland in 1848.1
