| Notes |
- ??Born about 1832 in Dalton-in-Furness, Lancashire, England
She sailed to America with her family, when she was just 15 months old.
She married George when she was 16, in the Endowment House on Temple Block. Feb. 26, 1856.
Vilate Douglas Romney, had a very large family with George. They had 6 sons and 6 daughters. In her daughter Ellens' words describing her mother: "She knew practically everyone living in the 20th ward. This ward extended from Eagle Gate to the City Cemetery, from South Temple to Ensign Peak. She was the Good Samaritan in sickness and death. Was willing and ready for any call where she could serve. She helped lay out the dead, make burial clothes, etc. A ministering angel to her own large family. She was treasurer for 20 yrs in the 20th ward Relief Society-which didnt mean that she took care of money but she gave value to merchandise sent in where money was not to be had. As you can imagine, the distribution of this 'merchandise' was where the real labor was required. Time and judgement were required as this was delivered to the poor. After years of devotion and service to her family, fortune smiled on her and she had the luxuries of life. She traveled considerable, crossing the continent several times. Visiting in California and in the north west. Spent 3 months in Europe and the British Isles. She visited Old Mexico and many places of less importance."
