Research Notes

Her name is given in FamilySearch as Lady Elizabeth Blount Baroness Eatington but there is no evidence that there was ever a Barony of Eatington (it does not appear in Wikipedia's list of baronies, nor in The Complete Peerage). Eatington is a variant spelling of Ettingon, but although her husband Ralph Shirley was Lord of Ettington this was a manorial title and not a barony. The title baroness should therefore not be used here.
