1. Augustine is in both places but is a daughter in the top and a son in the list. 2. The list has Clement, Francis and Elizabeth, who are not listed at the top. These 3 plus the 10 shown equals 13.
These are two of my 13th GGP and I'm not Pre-1500 certified so - can someone please resolve the gender of Augustine (since it's known he was a monk; I'm assuming that male is the correct gender) AND either correct the number of children to 13 OR eliminate the erroneous child from the list.
Thank You
apparently Richard was, to quote the record, a friendly intimate of Cromwell, HenryV111's advisor who arranged his appointment to high sheriff of Norrhampton in 1530, and Ricbard's son to a position.
Richard's middle name was Hambrett.
