Biography

Elizabeth was born in 1501.

She was the daughter of Richard Wynyngton, Esquire^[1] and his wife, Catherine Grosvenor.

After her father's death, his overlord, Henry VII granted Elizabeth's ward-ship and marriage to William, Bishop of Lincoln, who in turn in 1510-1511 sold Elizabeth's marriage to John Werberton, Kt.^[1]

Elizabeth was under 14 years of age when she was contracted to marry Piers Werburton, son and heir apparent of Sir John Werberton, Kt.^[1]

Elizabeth and Piers had children:

1. Jane Warburton, who by settlement dated 20 January, 1538/9, was married to William Brereton, grandson and heir apparent of Sir William Brereton;^[2] and
2. John Warburton, son and heir, who by settlement dated 20 January, 1538/9, was married to Mary Brereton;^[2]

In 2 Henry VIII [22 April 1510-21 April 1511], John Werberton, Kt, and William, Bishop of Lincoln, enrolled a deed at Chester, covenanting that Piers Werburton, son and heir apparent of the said Sir John should marry Elizabeth Wynyngton daughter and heir of Richard Wynyngton, Esquire, deceased; that if Piers died before the consummation of the marriage, then John Werburton, brother of the said Piers, should marry the said Elizabeth; the said John should make an estate in fee-simple, of lands in Appulton, to the value of 20l yearly, to George Bromley, Ralph Birkened, Roger Maynwaryng, and Thomas Smythe to the use of the said Piers and Elizabeth for life, in survivorship, with remainder to the heirs male of their bodies, with remainder over to the uses set forth in the entail made by Piers Werburton father of the said John, with respect to all his lands; the said Sir John should take the profits of the said lands until the coming of age of the said Piers and should pay to the Bishop 400 marks in yearly payments of 26l 13s 4d to commence on Elizabeth attaining the age of 14, and to cease on her death without heirs by Piers; all Sir John's manors, lands, &c., on his death should descend to the said Piers and his heirs according to estate tail by Piers Werburton, esquire, father of the said Sir John, excepting certain lands detailed by the said Sir John. The Bishop was to deliver to the said John all grants of the wardship and marriage of he said Elizabeth which he had received from King Henry VII, and all leases he had of the King pertaining to Elizabeth's inheritance.^[1]

On 20 April, 1519, Peter Warburton, son and heir of Sir John Warburton, Sheriff of Cheshire, granted to his father, Sir John, all manors, lands, tenements, and rents in Cheshire or elsewhere possessed or seised in the right of Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Winnington, for the preferment and advancement of Peter's sisters, Blanche, Ellen, and Dowce, except for the manor of Marthall which he retained for his own use.^[3]

An indenture made on 20 January, 1538/9, detailed a settlement by Sir Peter Warburton and his wife Elizabeth to Sir William Brereton of lands in Malpas, Duckington, Barton, Tilston, Caldecott, Shocklach, and Cuddington, Cheshire, on the marriages of:

• William Brereton, aged 18, cousin [grandson] and heir apparent of Sir William Brereton (son of William, son of Sir William) and Jane Warburton, aged 12, daughter of Sir Peter Warburton and his wife Elizabeth; and
• John Warburton, aged 15, son and heir of Sir Peter Warburton and his wife Elizabeth, and Mary Brereton, aged 18, daughter of Sir William Brereton.^[2]
