1.
man William Walweyn‏


Notes: Of Bickerton.

This William Walweyn is not the same individual as the William Walweyn of Longford who married Jane Whitney. This is best evidenced by the descent of Longford manor - which was to be inherited by the heirs of William and Joan (CP 25/1/83/56) - and went to John Walweyn of Longford, as opposed to Alice - the heir to this William and Joan.
