Family
 Thomas Crophull, Lord of Hemington 1) 2) 3) 4)Son of John Crophull and Margery de Verdun. Died Nov 1381 3) Married/ Related to:  Sibyl de la Bere 3)Daughter of John de la Bere and Agnes Turberville. Born 19 May 1338 Weobley, Herefordshire, England Died before Nov 1381, at most 43 years 3) Notes: Identifying Sibyl's ancestry with any certainty is fraught with difficulty. Visitations show multiple conflicting pedigrees for the "de la Bere" family and interpreting primary evidence is made difficult by the existence of multiple prominent individuals with the same name in the same generation. It's not even certain that Thomas's wife was a de la Bere: no primary evidence supporting such a marriage has been identified. Child: 1. Agnes Crophull 4)Born 25 Mar 1371 Chabbenore Manor, Dilwyn, Herefordshire, England 2) 5) Baptised after 25 Mar 1371 Dilwyn, Herefordshire, England 2) Died after 1402, at least 31 years 6) Notes: Agnes was heir to her grandfather, John Crophull. She was not married in Nov 1381, at the time of her father's IPM, but married by 1385 at the time of her Proof of Age (for claiming her grandfather's inheritance). Following Walter Devereux's death, Agnes remarried to John Parr and subsequently to John Merbury. | |||
