Elinour was the third daughter of Sir John Savage of Clifton, in Cheshire, knight, and his wife, Elizabeth Mannours, the daughter of Sir Thomas Mannours (Maniers[2]) Earl of Rutland, who had five sons and five daughters together.[3]
Margaret who was married to Sir William Brereton of Brereton, Cheshire;[2] Margaret was born in 1549 and her husband, Sir William Brereton, was later baron of Laghlin in Ireland, and they married on 24 January 1561;[1]
Elizabeth who was married to Thomas Langton Baron of Newton,[2] Lancashire; Elizabeth was born in 1552 and married Thomas in 1580, Thomas was divorced from Margaret Shirborne on 25 June, 1580, because the marriage was in "impubertate";[1]
Mary for whom no marriage is recorded at the 1580 Visitation,[2] was born 1563, and married to Sir Richard Milles in Hampshire;[1]
Frances, born 1567, married Thomas Wilkes in the county of Surrey, esq;[1]
Elinour's mother, Elizabeth, died at Frodsham on 8 August 1570, and her father married Elinour Cotgrave, the daughter of John Cotgreve of Stubbs, widow of Sir Richard Pexsall, about 1572 at Clifton, Cheshire, England, and they had no children.[2][1]
Elenor married Henry Bagnall,[2] the son and heir of Nicholas Bagnall, knight, marshal of the Queen's army for Ireland, in 1577, receiving a £1,000 portion.[1]
Henry was knighted in 1578 in Ireland, obtained the reversion to his father's office of marshal in 1583, and succeeded his father in that post and was sworn as a privy counsellor on 24 October 1590. Henry's sister, Mabel, eloped with the Earl of Tyrone, and they married in August 1591, and as Henry refused to pay Mabel's dowry, a feud began, Tyrone revolted, and Henry died in the action on the Blackwater, on 14 August, 1598.[4] His estate was in such a mess that Eleanor requested the Privy Council look into it, and administration was granted to her in 1604.
Eleanor and Sir Henry and three sons and four daughters together:[4]
Sir Arthur Bagnall, son and heir,[5] of the Newry, County Derry, Ireland, esq, married Magdalen;[6]
Anne, who was married to Lewis Bayly, bishop of Bangor;[4]
Eleanor's death date of 7 Apr 1593 is not accurate as she married her second husband, Sackville Trevor about 1604. A death date of 1620 has been proposed by user-submitted pedigrees. More research is required to determine the exact date.
