Probate is not filled in – the next will was proved 28 May 1516. (P.C.C. 17 Holder)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Birthdate listed is very likely wrong as his will was proved 1516, making him deceased at less than 20, having produced 5 children. While possible, I highly doubt it.

William married Elizabeth Fryer, daughter of John Fryer and Alice.
