Other NoteDaughter of Edward Noel, the 1st Earl of Gainsborough, and his first wife Lady Elizabeth Wriothesley. She married Simon, Lord Digby (GEMMS ID: 3768) on 27 August 1683. They had a child, the Hon. Frances Digby who died 3 May 1729, so her death must have been shortly after giving birth and perhaps due to this.
