The parents and birth date of Elizabeth LNU are unknown at present.  Some online family trees say she is Elizabeth Trull, baptized 13 April 1590 in St. Augustine in Norwich, Norfolk, England, daughter of Robert and Mary (Stoker) Trull of Norwich.  This is possible, since there is a 1610 marriage record and the children's baptism records also in Norwich from 1611 to 1627.
