The death date of "03/16/1648" is undocumented. However, the 1648 nuncuperative will of Edward Cranfield of Copt Hall [one of the well known family residences & the one his father was living in at the time of his death in August 1645]. This will [proved in 1648] is in Latin, but clearly mentions Copt Hall, Lionel Cranfield and Nathaniel Brent, so that would seem to be sufficient to confirm his death.

Edward Cranfield definitely died without issue [male] as the family titles went into abeyance after the death of his brother Lionel.
