Source in Footnotes is for "Humphrey Cokayn died 26 March, 6 Henry VIII [1515]; Frances Cokayn is his daughter and heir, and was aged 1 year on Christmas eve, 7 Henry VIII", no mention of a William Cockayne. How does this source relate to Profile? Frances Cockayne in Profile relates to a male and cannot be Frances of this source since this Frances is a daughter.
