Elizabeth was die dogter van Nicolaas Wortley en Isabella Tunstall.
(Foster, Joseph: Pedigrees of the County Families of Yorkshire, Vol. 2, West Riding. London. 1874)
Foster's
pedigree of Bosvile has John marrying Isabel Wortley, whereas his pedigree of
Wortley has John marrying Elizabeth Wortley, Isabel's sister. In both cases,
John's parents-in-law would have been Nicholas Wortley and Isabel Tustall.

Darfield and New Hall, Wombwell, also of Gunthwaite.

At Gunthwaite, the ancient seat of the
Bosvilles, is a noted Mineral Spring. The surrounding country is lovely, and
lying as it does, midway between the populous city of Sheffield, and towns of
Barnsley, Huddersfield, Halifax, and Bradford, and with other cities and towns
not far away, a more convenient, attractive, and healthy situation for a
hydropathic establishment, or consumptive sanatorium, it would be difficult to
find. It is a district typical of rural England. Woodsome Hall, Bretton Hall,
Cannon Hall, Wentworth Castle, and Wortley Hall and Wharncliffe, are all within
a few miles drive. (https://huddersfield.exposed/api/content/books/ocr/17984/)
Near the house at Gunthwaite is a venerable oak
which it is no unwarrantable conjecture to suppose may have been planted by one
of the early Gunnoldthwaites. The barn said to have been built by the first
Godfrey, is of the extraordinary dimensions of fifty-five yards by fifteen. In
different parts of the mansion are arms of Bosvile impaling Hardwicke, and
Bosvile impaling Hotham, the first and the third Godfrey, who were the great
advancers of Gunthwaite. The three bends on an ermine field, the arms of
Gunthwaite, appear upon the house, and also over one of the doors, what is
supposed to have been a crest of Gunthwaite, a falcon or other bird, with their
motto, a good old Engish sentiment inscribed in the old English character:Try
and Eryvst. (https://huddersfield.exposed/api/content/books/ocr/17984/)
