Elizabeth Palmer 1

  • Born: Abt 1570, Stoke Doyle, Northamptonshire, England

  • Buried: 12 Feb 1655/6, St. Peter, Bromyard, Herefordshire, England 3

  Research Notes:

Elizabeth Palmer was named as a beneficiary in the Will of her maternal grandmother Jane Skynner of London, widow (written 1580).

In 1636 Elizabeth Baynham was co-executor of her husband's Will.

During the period of the English civil wars, King Charles I stayed the night in Bromyard at Mrs Baynham's house (now Tower House) on 3 September 1645 on his way to Hereford. 4

In 1653 Elizabeth Baynham is named in the Will of her son Edward as being owed £63.

----------------------

In the chancel of Bromyard Church is a marble tablet, with the arms of the Baynham family and an inscription with the names of some of the family members, including John Baynham, esquire, died 4 Jun 1636, aged 70 (b.c. 1566), and his wife Elizabeth, died 12 Feb 1655/6, aged 66 years (b.c. 1590). This presents a problem inasmuch as Elizabeth is shown in the Northamptonshire Visitation (Palmer of Stoke Doyle) as the daughter of Richard Palmer and his wife Prudence Skinner and husband of John Baynham of Bromyard; Richard Palmer was dead by 11 Feb 1570 when his Will was proved. One would need to see the original image of the marble tablet to determine whether Elizabeth's age at death has been transcribed correctly (could it be 88 instead of 66? for example). Elizabeth wasn't named in her father's Will (although she is named in the Will of her maternal grandmother as noted above), such that she may have been born posthumously. Alternatively, it is possible that Elizabeth who was co-executor of her husband's Will in 1636, named in the Will of her son Edward in 1653, and who appears on the said marble tablet, was an unrecorded second wife of John Baynham.

  Marriage Information:

Elizabeth married John Baynham of Bromyard, Esq., son of John Baynham of Bromyard, in 1584 in Worcestershire, England. (John Baynham was born in 1565 in Bromyard, Herefordshire, England, died on 4 Jun 1636 and was buried in St. Peter, Bromyard, Herefordshire, England.)
