Biography

Birth

Jonet /Ferch Jenkin/[1][2]
Jonet /Fleming/[3][4]

Jenet "Jonet, Janet" ferch Jenkin was born in Pen Llin, Ogmore, Glamorgan, Wales to Jenkin (Fleming) ap John and Alice Rayne. She married Mathew ap Ieuan, and they had Robert Mathew[5] Dafydd ap Mathew, and Morfudd ferch Mathew.

1365, Ogmore, Glamorgan, Wales[3][1]
1362[1]

Death

Jonet died in Wales before 1411 (Age: 45-46[6])

Research Notes

Note: Birth year is in question. About 1365, 1384[7] or about 1400 (but son Dafydd's profile shows he was born 1400). Her death date has been given as 1411 and marriage before 1411 by some pedigrees. The profile for daughter Morfudd shows birth year of 1419.

note - Fleming-3020 was removed as daughter of Richard Fleming. The wife of Mathew ap Ieuan was the daughter of Jenkin Fleming.

1) Can we get the "gwraig Mathew" out of her given name? We already know who she is so we don't need to call her by her husband. I'm sure her parents didn't call her that, and we should use their conventions not echo a document or later, secondary source.

If project gurus feel super strongly about including her husband's name in her profile name (which seems bogus) then an AKA would be the better place for that.

2) If we're saying she's Welsh, then the patronymic ought to be her LNAB.

So how about: "Jonet ferch Jenkin formerly Fleming" (Plus possible "AKA gwraig Mathew" if historically important for reasons I'm not aware of.) That gets her Welsh assimilation into a logical order, ie Welsh people in her time wouldn't have called her Jonet Fleming, right? Her grandparents might have, but we should be thinking about this more through the lens of her grandchildren, because the family becomes Welsh and the profile is Cymru protected not Anglo protected.

3) Also, consider just picking the best-sourced or most culturally-appropriate vowel for her firstname, instead of listing all three?

Because, if we listed all the phonetic variant spellings of EVERYBODY on this site between say 1000-1750, the site would be broken. If we're not going to do that for everybody, why do it for her?

Personally, I think we ought to reserve the other firstnames database field for non-intuitive contractions (eg Matilda "Maud") or cross-cultural duality (eg Siwan "Joan") and not mere phonetic or spelling variance. Especially when sources are getting translated and spelling norms change over time, the existence of alternates is to be expected and not indicative of difference.

sources needed for
  1. 1411 death
  2. daughter Morfudd
  3. daughter's birth year (1419)

Her 1411 death is incompatible with daughter's birth (1419):

Warning: Check the dates.
  • A mother's death date should not be before one of her children's birth dates.

Fleming-3020 and Fleming-194 appear to represent the same person because: Father question resolved (Jenkin it is). These duplicates can be merged now. Thanks!

update: thanks Dawn (received another message saying "OK"). Richard detached & merge with Fleming-194 proposed.

Dawn - you sent me a message saying "I believe the Janet ferch Jenkin is incorrect." So... ok to disconnect Richard Fleming as father?
