According to this (biography note) Lady Elizabeth was born in 1673 and married in 1684. That would mean she was married at 11 years old, highly unlikely. Also, the couple's first child is born in 1685 making her a 12-year-old mother. I think the dates need some looking into as I have seen documents that state her baptism was on 12 July 1668, this seems more likely.

Clantary-1 and Spencer-11 appear to represent the same person because: Lady Elizabeth Spencer mar. 31 Dec 1684 Donough [McCarthy], 4th Earl of Clancarty. Everything in Clantary-1 is wrong; use Spencer-11.

Spencer-4748 and Spencer-11 do not represent the same person because: I see wikipedia has both with different dates, isabelle and elizabeth
Spencer-4748 and Spencer-11 appear to represent the same person because: looks like they match. Elizabeth and Isabell or Isabella are the same nicknames. Not sure where the Hayward name came from.
