| a. | Simon Harcourt of Stanton Harcourt | ||||||||||||||
| BE1883 and BLG1886 allocate Simon's children differently. BE1883 reports that Mary, his first wife, was mother of Walter, John, Elizabeth and Jane ("with other issue"). However, BLG1886 identifies all of those children mentioned by BE1883 as by Jane, his third wife. Because it also specifies (without naming) other children by the other wives, we follow BLG1886 but note that this may be wrong. | |||||||||||||||
