Biography
Henry Elsynge (?1606-1656) was born at Battersea, the eldest son of Henry Elsynge. He was educated at Westminster under L. Osbaldiston, before entering Christ Church, Oxford, as a commoner in 1621 (B.A., 1625). Elysynge spent seven years in foreign travel, before he was appointed clerk of the House of Commons. He held this position until 1648, when he resigned in order to avoid involvement in the proceedings against Charles I. He retired to Houslow, Middlesex, where he died, and was buried in St Margaret's, Westminster.
