Elizabeth was daughter of Thomas de Berkeley, 5th Baron Berkeley and Margaret de Berkeley, 3rd Baroness Lisle, becoming the main heiress of her mother.

They were parents to at least one child: Margaret Dayrell. She married James Tuchet, 7th Baron Audley, and was mother of John Tuchet, 8th Baron Audley. Sources Weir, Alison.
