Research Notes

Parents of Elizabeth

Three sources have Elizabeth as the daughter of Walter and Elizabeth (or Maud) Bromwich, and not as a daughter of Walter and Agnes Crophull.

1. Bannerman has the correct father and lists her brother Walter, but he says Elizabeth's mother is Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thomas Bromwich.^[5]
2. Burke's Peerage (#443943) has Elizabeth as the daughter of her brother, Walter (son of Walter Devereux and Agnes Crophill), and Maud Bromwich, daughter of Sir Thomas Bromwich.^[7]
3. Gary Boyd Roberts, in The Royal Descents of 600 Immigrants has Elizabeth as the daughter or Sir Walter Devereux and Elizabeth Bromwich.^[8]

According to Richardson, the Walter Devereux who m. Bromwich is Elizabeth's brother, Walter. This corresponds with what is in he 1619 Visitation of Warwickshire, which also names the wife of Elizabeth Devereux's father as Agnes Crophull.^[9]
