Lady Susan (Fiennes Clinton) Humphrey's age

I think the likeliest range for Lady Susan's birth would be about
1606-1611. She couldn't have married John Humphrey till after his 2nd
wife Elizabeth Pelham's death on 1 November 1628. Lady Susan's
apparently eldest child by John Humphrey was Dorcas, aged about 9 in
late 1641. Sarah was a couple years younger still. And, the others, born
in Lynn, were Theophilus (1636/7), Thomas (1638), Joseph (1640), and
Lydia (1640/1). So, Lady Susan might have been aged between 19-24 when
she married John Humphrey.

I have seen nothing as regards Lady Susan's death date and place of
death. I suspect she died at Lynn, perhaps after the birth of Lydia.
Though why Winthrop seems to have failed to mention her death (if it
occurred) or her departure with John in 1641 (leaving her young
children) seems rather odd (the whole episode in fact is very odd.) John
remarried in London, where he remained in Westminster till his death in
1651/2.
