Any sources for Elizabeth Barlow?

+4 votes
151 views

I noticed this profile doesn't have any reliable sources besides the pedigree charts. There's nothing to prove she married William Crich or that Ralph Crich is her son, and on the charts her spouse isn't listed (assuming I read them correctly). I also checked FamilySearch and she's no longer connected to William, so I don't know what sources were looked at when this profile was made.

Are there any sources that prove she married William or anyone at all? Should their profiles be disconnected from each other?

edit / Frances Crich, a supposed descendant of Elizabeth Barlow, is memorialized in the Turner United Church cemetery on a plaque of her and her brother John and their descendants in the area. It says their family is of the Criches of Stubbings Edge Hall, Derbyshire with no mention of Elizabeth Barlow's family.

I added the easy one of the visitation cited on her father's profile.

William Crich on FamilySearch shows as married to Elizabeth Hunloke and having Ralph, and then to "Elizabeth B." but there are zero sources for all of this.

Her brother Alexander is said to have a will, which might mention her, but I don't see it in the PCC or Cheshire probate indexes, which probably means it is in PCY and that is not indexed online for this period.

Wikitree profiles for her sisters and brothers-in-law are also rather thin, but their wills should also be sought in case they mention her.

Thank you! :)

The Magna Britannia (on British History Online) has a list of 'extinct gentry' and it has the Criches of Stubbing-Edge, saying William Criche, father of Ralph, married to a Sandford heiress and then to a Hunlock/Hunloke woman (though it doesn't say her name is Elizabeth), but still no Elizabeth Barlow. The only Elizabeth I could find is Nicholas Hunloke's wife in the Derbyshire Visitation for 1569 and 1611.

Ralph Crrich’s Will refers to his loving mother Mrs  Sibyll Crich.

That means he needs detaching and attaching to

[[Crich-54|William Crich (1600-1658)]]

I've added my research notes to William Crich's profile, and then a brief research paragraph on his son Ralph's profile regarding the will/probate. I also disconnected Elizabeth Barlow from both profiles as I don't think there's enough evidence to keep her connected.

Well done. Ralph does mention his brother John who is I think a direct ancestor of the Francis mentioned in your post.
