If Catherine is the mother of Francis Zouche born about 1545 and she married his father John Zouche before 1545 then maybe her death date should be given as after 1545 vs 1535.

HOP says Catherine subsequently married ZOUCHE, Sir John (d.1585), of Ansty, Wilts (Source provided). However I can find no corroboration. Leaving it to you to decide whether to make the connection at this time. C

Leger-63 and St Leger-213 appear to represent the same person because: These are clearly intended to be the same person - Leger originally had the same parents, husband and children as St Leger until they were recently removed. St Leger is the correct surname according to naming standards.

Wasn' t her last name at birth ST LEGER, not St. Leger and certainly not Leger? Or are there reputable sources which say otherwise?

The biography names her parents but the data does not: is there doubt?
