Elizabeth Cartwright

Elizabeth was the 11th child of William Cartwright and Grace D'abridgecourt. She was their SECOND child of that name.

Elizabeth is mentioned in the will of her father as his youngest daughter.

She married on the 29th August 1615 at Ossington to Christopher Beresford.

Some online trees state that she died on the 24th December 1635 but I have not verified this information.
