Elizabeth Cavendish (Bassett) Countess of Newcastle

Elizabeth Bassett was born in 1598 NOT 1592.   In the Inquisition Post Mortem of her father William Bassett she is reported to be 2 years 2 months old at the time of his death.

 

Proof is required of the place of her birth?    Saffron Walden?   Blore Staffordshire?

 

Elizabeth was never a Duchess.    Her husband was created Duke of Newcastle long after her death.
