What Should Be the LNAB for Isabella Sheffield, b. 1355?

Question

Isabella married William Sheffield. There are two profile for her that need merging. On one, her LNAB is shown as Sheffield (wrong).  The other has her LNAB as SaintElizabeth, aka de St. Liz, aka de Senlis.  The profile says she is the daughter of Rowland de Senlis.   I have marked the two isabellas as a Unmerged Match until some questions are answered:

1. Is there evidence that she is the daughter of Rowland.de Senlis?

2. If so, shouldn't her LNAB be changed to Senlis?

3. If there isn't evidence that she is a Senlis, is there evidence to show who she is?

Answer 1

There is some information about her and her family in a couple of sources I have found.

The History of Parliament site has an article about her husband h

There is some information about the family in the Victoria History of Rutland, volume 2 see this link 

and finally in the Visitation of Rutland there is the Sheffield family on page 19, and the St Lis or St Lise family on page 42

So she definitely seems to be the daughter of Roland or Rowland St Liz (or St Lis) and I think I would go with St Liz as her LNAB rather than Senlis.  The Wikitree naming policy is to go with the name most recognised when there are variations in the sources.

By the way no source seems to name a daughter Lucy or a son Robert, and Robert's wife, Isabella STElizabeth, seems to be just another variation for his mother, which would make 3 profiles for her.

I also think her birth date of about 1355 is impossibly early, given she was perhaps married in the early 1400s.

Thanks, I'll check those sources.
