Elizabeth’s birth date given as about 1331 and her son Hugh’s as about 1341 - highly unlikely she gave birth at age 10! If her husband Hugh died in 1349 we can say that son Hugh was born before 1349 and that her marriage to husband Hugh was before 1348 to give more reasonable birth at age 17/18.

De Vere-305 and DeVere-58 appear to represent the same person because: if married to John in 1349 -the 1314 DoB is more plausible
Brian-9 and DeVere-58 are not ready to be merged because: same husband and first name, different birth name but maybe a royal title?
