She was the daughter of William Vaux, 3rd Baron Vaux of Harrowden, and his first wife, Elizabeth, daughter of John Beaumont of Grace Dieu, Leicester. She married Edward Brokesby, Esq., of Sholdby, Leicester. In 1605 she and Vaux attended a pilgrimage of Catholic recusants to Holywell; the pilgrimage was later suspected by authorities of having been used as cover for planning the Gunpowder Plot.
