Married: Sir Hugh Cholmley, of Whitby, York, 1622.
Her husband played a prominent part in the troubles of his times, was a member of the Long Parliament, a Commissioner of the Northern Counties and Governor of Scarborough Castle.
Subsequently disapproved of the extreme measures of Parliament and went over to the King, 1641.
Although Elizabeth deplored this step, she joined him before the famous siege of Scarborough Castle in 1644. She bravely bore the five months' privation and then took refuge in France with all her family.
She returned alone to reclaim the Whitby estates for her husband, who was imprisoned for a time in Leeds Castle, near Maidstone, in 1651 with his brother-in-law, Sir Roger.
