ELIZABETH OXENBRIDGE (c.1529-January 1590)

From Kate Meerson's Tudor Women

Elizabeth Oxenbridge was the daughter of Thomas Oxenbridge (1502-March 28,1540), half brother of Elizabeth Oxenbridge (above), and Elizabeth Puttenham (1507-1529). Around 1540, she also married a man named Robert Tyrwhitt, this one the nephew of the one married to Elizabeth's aunt. Sir Robert Tyrwhitt of Kettleby (1526-November 16, 1581) was also at court.

Many accounts confuse these two sets of Robert and Elizabeth Tyrwhitts, or try to combine them into one couple instead of two. The Tyrwhitts of Kettleby, however, have the distinction of having produced twenty-two children, all of whom are pictured on their tomb in Bigby, Lincolnshire.

Among them were: William (d.1591), Edward (1551-1577), Margaret (b.1552), Ursula (1553-1618), Marmaduke (d.1589), Goddard (b.1556), John (b.1557), Anne, George (b.c.1562), Mary, Robert (b.1565), Humphrey (1566-1579), Elizabeth, Frances (1572-1601+), and Roger (c.1573-1610).

Elizabeth was buried on January 25, 1589/90.

Portraits: A set of portraits of "Elizabeth Oxenham(sic), Lady Tyrwit" and her husband by Cornelius Ketel, painted in 1573, are referred to in Roy Strong's The English Icon but not reproduced there. Their location was unknown at the time of that book's publication in 1969; effigy.
