Biography
Elizabeth was probably born about 1559, being about 21 when she married. She may have been born in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, England, where she was married and buried. The parish register begins 1561 so if she was born in Bishop's Stortford, then it was prior to this date as she is not recorded in it. In the absence of a baptism record, it is unknown who her parents were; it would be good to find some related Wills which might help to establish who Elizabeth's parents and siblings were.
She was married on 2 October 1580, at Bishop's Stortford, to George Browne.[1]
Elizabeth was buried on 6 February 1612 in Bishop's Stortford, St Michael, Hertfordshire, England.[2]

Bowie-402 and Lawe-8 are not ready to be merged because: The only info that matches is first name, name of daughter, and possibly date of birth. Dates of death are widely separated and name of husbands are different. Needs further research.
Bowie-402 and Lawe-8 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, similar birth date, wife with same name, child with same name, sources needed, especially for death date.
