4. ↑ April 1443, per Touchet-25 (no sources), but reasonable:
   

   Estimated date: James and Eleanor married February 1430 and had 6 children - 3 sons and 3 daughters, with Constance listed last (which could mean she was their sixth child or their third, if the girls were all born first, since Richardson lists sons and daughters separately #RA). If their first child born in 1431, and subsequent children born two years apart, that puts the birth year estimate for their 6th child at 1441.
   

   Death date of 1531, entered by Roger Travis on Dec 30, 2011, is more likely for Robert's second wife, Elizabeth, who was living 4 May 1525. Richardson does not give a date for Robert and Elizabeth's marriage (#RA). WikiTree shows them as married c1465 with children born in 1470 and 1472 (only two of Elizabeth's seven children with Robert have WikiTree profiles)
