It was possibly this MP who, as William Weldon, esquire, in April 1415 contracted to serve Henry V for one year in either Guyenne or Normandy. His name does not occur in any of the surviving records of Barnstaple.1E101/69/3/369. This man could, however, have been William Weldon (d.1447) of Oakley and Weldon, Northants., who from December 1415 held the duchy of Cornwall lordship of Rockingham (CFR, xiv. 128).
