Biography

Elizabeth Wentworth was the daughter of Philip Wentworth and his Mary Clifford. Her birth date is uncertain, but her father was born in about 1424:^[1][2] on that basis, it has been estimated as about 1445.

Elizabeth became the second wife of Martin de la See, son of Brian de la See of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire.^[1][2] Their marriage date and place are not known. They had at least three children:

• Martin^[1][2]
• Jane/Joan, who married Peter Hildyard^[1][2]
• Elizabeth, who married Roger Kelke^[1][2][3]

George Poulson's 1840 history of Holderness adds another child, a son called John, saying that John died childless.^[4] No good source has been found to confirm this.

Elizabeth's husband had married again before he signed his Will on 20 November 1494 and referred ti his then wife Margery,^[5] so she died before then. She may have been buried in the parish church of Barmston, Yorkshire where her husband requested burial.^[5]
