===Research Note===
Note! There is much speculation as to the second wife of Sir William Cavendish. Shown in this profile as the current preferred Wife - Elizabeth Parker, this is backed up by the “Journal of the Derbyshire Archaeological and Natural History Society (1879-1960)” published by the Derbyshire Archaeological and Natural History Society, (46 volumes. London: Bemrose, 1879-1960), FHL book 942.51 B2a., vol. 29 p. 90. which contains the following very significant information:
In Sir William Cavendish's pocket book at Welbeck there is this entry:-- Md. that I was marryed unto Elizabeth my Wife, Daughter of Thomas Parker of Postingford in Suffolk, Esq., at the Black Fryars in London, the Morrowe after All Souls Daie, Anno 34, R.H. 8 (1543).(2nd Nov 1543) His Wife died 1545; her three children died young.
The Blackfriar registers for the period in questin have been lost through time as indicated by the London Records Office.
