Hiya eryka,

Elizabeth is a possibility. Robert  Swinburne married Elizabeth Hudleston in 1456. There are several women's names mentioned on the Swinburne of Hewthwaite, Cumberland website. There's also a reference to Elizabeth over the doorway of Huthwaite Hall ...

"John Swynburn, Esq., and Elizabeth, his wife,
Did make cost of this work in the days of their life.
Anno Domini 1581. Anno Reginae 23."
