Hi,

I think this is your Elizabeth's obit. from the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper, Brooklyn, New York 01 May 1919. Wife of William H. Porter. She took up residence in New Jersey with her uncle John L. Currie. There is a marriage in Newark, New Jersey for Elizabeth Thom(p)son 24 Aug. 1864 to Wm. H. Porter.

Her Find A Grave entry,
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01u54/
Gives her date of death as 1910, an error I believe as I can see her Brooklyn, NY death cert. b.24 Nov. 1834, Canada, age 84, widow, d. 30 April 1919, burial date 3 May 1919, father William Thomson, mother Margaret Thomson. Son George, executor.

1851 Canada census, Deux Montagnes (Two Mountains), Quebec for Elizabeth with her parents and her 4 siblings.
