Copinger, in another place seems to refer to the intended family in Stonham but then Robert's wife is named Alice, not Elizabeth. https://archive.org/stream/cu31924092579584#page/n215/mode/2up He also refers to 1337, not 1327? (Possibly this is the same Robert and Alice as Gage mentions in Lackford manor, but there their son Thomas is followed.)
