James was invited by Lieutenant Governor Stirling to take up an allotment in the town of Guildford, purportedly to make small farms. He went to Guildford in August 1830. The land was Guildford Lot 89 in 1830 and Elizabeth had Lots 155 and 157 in 1833.

Elizabeth then went to Gingin and lived with her daughter Elizabeth Gee. Elizabeth died in December 1878.4
