Nothing further known of her. Her mother was Jane Thornborough, daughter of John the anti-recusant bishop of Worcester (d. 1641). See Rev Thomas Rudge. History of the County of Gloucestershire ...down to the year 1803 (Gloucester, 1803), p40. Thornborough was a fascinating and controversial figure.
