Her birth preceded her parents' marriage by one month, not uncommon in outports where ministers often did not visit on a regular basis. The source is no longer available to me so I cannot verify the accuracy of this information.

Notes
General:
030313: According to Chafe family tree his gravestone reads:

My Dear Husband Matthew M. Chafe Sept. 28, 1916, age 55 years

Note that the second name is not spelled out

His birth and baptismal record on NGB only gives his name as Matthew.

The source of the information on the second name is as follows from Enid O'Brien:

"I found this in the Evening Telegram 29/9/1916. At Petty Harbour on September 28, 1916 after a short illness, Matthew Morry Chafe, age 55 years. Leaving a wife and one daughter. (I would think this would be some relative of Elizabeth's however, he was born in 1861 twenty three years after Elizabeth's death). "
