Elinor Bray was born in Eng.-----see notes ------surname of Bray not proven. She died on May 11th, 1654 in Watertown,MA.,possibly 5-11-1659 Vol 13 tree#0768.General Notes
Elinor was also known as Ellen. In some places surname is listed as "Bray", same as John's mother's surname. Her birthplace is very doubtful as it is listed as St. Margaret's parish in Warwickshire, and there is no such place. On the other hand, St. Margret's Westminister in London, Middlesex, is a place many of the records of this family are kept, and at Westminister Abbey Library. The marriage is not recorded there. Check Warwickshire IGI for possible marriage. Much of this data is taken from the Ancestral File data base and the children are mostly wrong in this listing. The data for her birthplace is suspect. St. Margaret's is in Westminister in London, and her husband is recorded in that parish, [located in the archives/muniments room of Westminister Abbey], but she is not.
