  BE1883 reports that Elizabeth married John de Foix, Earl of Kendal, but TCP (Kendal) identifies his wife as Margaret, niece of William, Duke of Suffolk, "said to be daughter of his brother Sir John de la Pole" (see just above). Some web sites report that this was the Elizabeth who married Sir Thomas de Kerdeston but we have yet to see confirmation of that.

  m. Gerard de Lisle, younger of Kingston Lisle (b c1360, dvpsp 1380/1)
  m. Robert Thorley of Tybeste
  B. Thomas de la Pole
  C. Edmond de la Pole
  It is assumed that either Thomas or Edmond was father of the following Walter who is described in BE1883 (Bradeston) as "1st cousin of William, Earl of Suffolk". Because (1) of the dates which are indicative (but certainly not conclusive) that Walter was of the following generation rather than of the one after, (2) the only brother reported by BE1883 (Pole of Suffolk) as brother of Michael, 2nd Earl, was Richard who "d.s.p.", and (3) had the cousin really been William then he would probably have been described either as Earl of Pembroke or as Duke of Suffolk rather than Earl of Suffolk (although he was that initially), it is assumed that BE1883 was wrong and should have named his 1st cousin as Michael, Earl of Suffolk.
