Relationships

See the Commentary section.
Spouse: Raphe Bushell.
The will of Raphe mentions his wife Elizabeth. The will of William Cally mentions his sister Elizabeth’s children (unnamed), and also leaves bequests to Randle and Thomas Bushell, as well as making Thomas Bushell his executor. The will does not explicitly state that Randle and Thomas were Elizabeth’s children, but this seems the most obvious interpretation.
Spouse: Thomas Hall. Married 2 November 1615 at Frodsham, Cheshire.
The marriage is recorded in the parish register. The marriage licence and bond record that Thomas Hall was of Davenham and that Elizabeth Bushell was a widow of Frodsham.

Commentary
Elizabeth’s parentage
Thomas Cally and Jane Plumpton were married in 1575/6 in Frodsham and had three children baptized there: Hugh in 1576, Elizabeth in 1580, and William in 1583. William named his sister Elizabeth in his 1629 will, left bequests to Elizabeth’s sons Thomas and Randle Bushell (although they are not explicitly called her sons in the will), and made Thomas Bushell his executor. He also mentions George Plumpton.
