• Notes

  He died in Ewelme, Berkshire, England just 22 miles from where Mary was born. It is possible she is the daughter of Edward. She would have been named after her grandmother and a deceased sister in this case. Because of his wife, Margaret's age, she would not have been the mother of Mary, but he could still be her father. He would have been about 58 at the time and could still father a child.
