taxidermist, was born in Newport, Monmouthshire. Among her various talents, she was a musician and music teacher, a member of the Royal Academy of Music (she participated in concerts when living in Sydney). She married John Wintle, a 'wine, spirit, ale, porter and cigar merchant’ as well as a photographer, furrier and dentist. Eliza’s expertise in taxidermy was presumably acquired as a result of the fur business. The Wintles had thirteen children, eight of whom survived infancy. The family arrived at Adelaide on 14 November 1874 on board the Kirkham ; in 1879 they moved to Sydney. In the 1890s Eliza went to live in WA, dying at West Perth in 1907.
