However: * Visitation shows that Maurice had 5 children by his first wife (Bartholomew, George, Maurice, Edward & Margaret) and none by his second. * HoP notes that the pedigree in the Visitation "is inaccurate" and reports that his first marriage was sp whilst his second produced 5 sons (2 dvp) + 5 daughters (1 dvp), one son being named Edward. * Provisionally, we follow Visitation which is supported by Wikipedia and Commoners (vol 1, 'Austen of Shalford', p466). |
