Joan was the daughter of Robert Conyers and Isabel Pert.[1][2] Her parents had lands in Durham and Yorkshire, so she may have been born in one of those counties. Her birth date is not known and has been estimated on the basis that her mother was said to be 40 in 1427,[3][4] her husband was born in about 1400, and her son Thomas was born in about 1428.[1][2]
Joan married Philip Dymoke of Lincolnshire.[1][2][5][6] They almost certainly married before 1428, given their son's birth date. They had at least one child:
Joan was alive in 1431: she was left a bequest in her father's Will dated that year.[1][2][7] Her death date is not known.
Research Notes
Father
Maddison's Lincolnshire Pedigrees, in a somewhat muddled Dymoke pedigree, names her father as Christopher Conyers.[6] Joan had a brother called Christopher,[3][4] and Maddison probably confused him with her father.
