Biography
Lady Lucy Cecil was the daughter of Thomas Cecil, 1st Earl of Exeter and Dorothy Neville.
She was born on 7 March 1568 at the Cecil's family estate of Burghley House according to the family memoranda that her grandfather William Cecil entered in his private papers: [1]
- 1568, Mar. 7. Lucy Cecil, daughter of Thomas Cecil, born at Burghley, afterwards married to Lord St. John.
She was probably baptised at the parish church of St Martin, Stamford Baron, Northamptonshire, but unfortunately the parish registers have not survived before 1572.
She married William Paulet, 4th Marquess of Winchester, son of William Paulet, 3rd Marquess of Winchester and Hon. Agnes Howard, on 28 February 1586/7 (1587 in modern reckoning) at St Martin’s in the Fields, Westminster.[2]
She died in October 1614 and was buried in the Cecil family vault in Westminster Abbey.
From 28 February 1586/87, her married name became Paulet.

Cissell-4 and Cecil-630 appear to represent the same person because: Cissell-4 is one of a group of early Cissells who are nothing but gedcom junk. Their creator has died. From researching several others, I believe he originally intended them to be the children of Thomas Cecil (Cecil-432) (as is Cecil-630).
