Lizzie had an elder sister Mary (1823-1863), a lifelong partner of Engels until her sudden death. In the 1850s, when Mary Burns and Engels lived in Ardwick, Lizzie stayed with them as a housekeeper, and after her sister's death eventually became Engels' partner. In the 1870s they lived openly as a couple in London) |
