I am removing "Occupation" as High Sheriff in 1442. That was his father.

Is there any evidence that his daughter Elianora might be the Elianora Gascoigne (Gascoigne-328) who was married to John Langton ?

The daughter Elianora listed here says born in 1440, but William (b. 1429) would have only been 11 years old in 1440).
