It looks like the birthdate of Thomas Geddyng, as well as his parents' date of marriage, can be pushed back a few years, to about 1385-88. Thomas also appears to have been married by 1415.

In Common Pleas, 1415: Suffolk. Thomas Geddyng, esquire, Anne his wife, versus John Bradley, of Stansfeld, clerk, for assumpsit. Anne has been ill and John had undertaken to cure her at Mildenhall but had done so negligently.

Also in 1415:
Thomas Geddyng, of Lakford, Suffolk, esquire, and others, for trespass: imprisonment of John atte Hill.

In Patent Rolls, 1409: Thomas Geddyng, now tenant of the lands of Lacford and Flempton

Lackford was where his father William Gedding was from.

What is the protocol for Magna Carta profiles? Are they protected or can others edit them?

They're not protected, but I think they like you to check with them.

Add it to the tags?
Great work Vance. Given that there is no real birth date given on our profile I think this is uncontroversial given the sources etc. Which guess do you propose? 1409 he was perhaps not long in his majority?
Yes, I think he had just come of age then, so he was born in 1388.
Personally I also like to round estimates off in cases like this, so 1385 sounds great to me FWIW.
Thanks for making those changes Vance!
I've made some changes based on Feet of Fines and Common Pleas. It helps that Mirabel is an uncommon name.
