Many sites give her date of birth as 1522 which can't be correct.

A birth date of 1522 has to be wrong as her husband is said to have married Elizabeth as his first wife in 1523, and secondly to Mary Echingham in 1546
Many sites switch the two marriages, with the marriage to Mary being in 1523. That would either make Elizabeth the second wife, or push back her date of birth.

http://www.blennerhassettfamilytree.com/pages/BH03_Norfolk_N.pdf has a possible explanation where a birth date of 1522 may have originated.
"Some sources have Elizabeth Cornwallis b.c1522 in error (this date perhaps from confusion with her dau. Elizabeth Blennerhassett, b.c1537 but whom MORIARTY/1 has b.c1522 in error); d.post 1544;:
Some sites guess (correctly) that the date of birth for Elizabeth had to be before 1522
1) Born 1505 Elizabeth Blennerhasset
2) Born bef 1522 http://www.blennerhassettfamilytree.com/pages/BH03_Norfolk_N.pdf
Dates of death also differ. Note she had to have died before her husband married the 2nd time.
1) Died between 10/4/1544 AND 1546 http://www.blennerhassettfamilytree.com/pages/BH03_Norfolk_N.pdf
2) Died before 1546 https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Cornwallis-15

6) Died 1571 https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/113906805/elizabeth-blennerhasset
My opinion is if she married abt 1523, she was born 1505 or earlier. Just a guess.
My opinion is she died prior to 1546 when her husband married the second time.
http://www.blennerhassettfamilytree.com/pages/BH03_Norfolk_N.pdf states her father's will dated 10/4/1544 left her a bequest. She must have died between the date of the will and her husband's 2nd marriage around 1546.
Anyone able to support her dates of birth, marriage, and death?
