Elizabeth Crompton (nee Fox): An Overview

My knowledge of Elizabeth Crompton comes from:
1. Information supplied to me by Sheila Howells who has researched this from many sources including the Crompton Papers in the Derby Local History Library. 
2. Her portrait by Joseph Wright of Derby was sold by Sotheby's in London, 9 July 1997.
3. The book "History of the County of Derby" by S Glover, 1829 - Pedigree of the family of FOX, of Derby. 

If anybody would like to type up a biography for me I would be very pleased to hear from you.
