Biography

Elizabeth was born about 1568.

She married Nicholas Sysson on 17 July 1587 at York.[1]

Elizabeth passed away about 1602.[2]

Research Notes

Two birthplaces have been proposed. Unable to find a baptism at Keighley on the date given; there is one on 28 November 1568 but the child died 2 months later.[3] Keighley is over 50 miles away at the edge of the Pennines with no obvious connection with Howden. The other proposed birthplace is Fishlake, where there is a baptism 30 January 1568 (not sure whether old or new calendar) for Elizabeth daughter of Thomas Wright.[4] Fishlake is only about 12 miles from Howden on the other side of the river. There is also a baptism in Howden itself for an Elizabeth Wright 27 August 1570[5] Wright is a very common name so there are probably more.

Wright-18996 and Wright-18481 appear to represent the same person because: I believe these are the same person because they are women of the same name married to the same man. (I have also proposed a merge of the two husband profiles which are an even closer match.) Is there documentation to help straighten out which birth date is correct?
