Biography

Elizabeth Grosvenor, daughter of Randall Grosvenor, Esq., and Anne Charlton, was born about 1515.[1]

Elizabeth married Thomas Bulkeley, Esq., son of William Bulkeley of Woore, Shropshire, and his wife Beatrice, daughter and co-heiress of William Hill, Esq.[1] They had two sons and three daughters.

  • Rowland,[1] married Elizabeth Barker, named eldest son in his father's will, living in 1596[2]
  • [Dr.] Edward, D.D.,[1] named second son in his father's will[2]
  • Margaret, wife of Thomas Smythe[1] or Smith of Longstowe, Shropshire[2]
  • Anne, wife of William Greene[1][2]
  • Katherine, wife of George Baker[1] (or Barker) of Coulshurst, Shropshire and had at least three children[2]

Elizabeth was a legatee in the 1559 will of her father, who left her "one bay philly".[1]

Her husband, Thomas Bulkeley, died in 1591 and was buried at Market Drayton, Shropshire.[1] Elizabeth's date and place of death are unknown. Thomas's will, proved 19 October 1591, mentions "Elizabeth my wife allreadie deceased".[2] There is a memorial to them in St Mary's, Market Drayton.[3][4] There is an image on FindAGrave.[5]

In Thomas Bulkeley's will he says that his wife Elizabeth has been dead sixty (I assume that is six - lost in transcription) years. This means she died in 1585. Quite probably at Woore where Thomas is giving away his furniture from Woore (and other places) in his will. Woore is a small town in Shropshire, north east of Market Drayton (Drayton-in-Hales) where Buntingsdale Hall is located. Woore is also only approximatly 2 miles across the fields from Bellaport Hall where Elizabeth is said to have been born. Bellaport Hall appears to no longer (Recent Google Maps) exist but can be seen marked on Royal Air Force Edition Maps published in 1939.

What's your source for Thomas' will? There isn't one on Thomas's profile (besides an index on Ancestry) ... could you please add it?

I have added a source on Thomas' profile - a link to the "Lichfield Wills and Administrations Registered in The Consistory Court of The Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry. 1516 to 1652" I have tried to dive into this site but could not see the original text. The second source is from an Ancestry site that gives a transcription. It would be good to find a cleaner source?

Thanks Ian. The Ancestry source where the actual will can be viewed would be preferable.

I agree, but I have not found a path to the original. The transcription is from a FamilyLore.org site. The first few sentences match the Find a Grave citation. Several sites suggest that the original may be on a Findmypast site - but I am not paid up on that. The details in the transcription are convincing but it would be good to get to a free copy of the original will.

Elizabeth (Grosvenor) Bulkeley was buried at St Mary's Church in Market Drayton (also known as Drayton-in-Hales at the time) in the Buntingsdale Chapel. There is a mural celebrating the lifes of Elizabeth and her husband Thomas.
