Firstly, John Bohuns parents were married before 1342, but he was not born until 1362 - 20 years later? ie. an entire generation's gap. Secondly, he married Alice, yet their children were not born until the 1410s- when John would have been in his 50s? Surely if he was born in 1360s, he would have married firstly in the 1370s/80s? Thirdly, his second wife Ann Halsham died over 120 years after he was supposed to have been born? That just does not feel right.
All of the above leads me to suggest there might a generation or two missing here. Maybe this requires further research?
