m. by 1455, Joan, wid. of Henry Croke of Olveston, Glos. 1da. CCR, 1454-61, p. 82; VCH Glos. xi. 236. In the calendared close roll reference cited here Croke is referred to as ‘of Woolstone’, a parish to the north of Cheltenham, but this is probably a misreading because in original documents (e.g. C241/216/9) he is described as of Olveston near Bristol. Dist. 1458.
