Lewis, ‘Sir John Fastolf’s Lawsuit over Titchwell’, Historical Jnl. i. 1, 6n, 10. (2) Katherine (d. 4 Jan. 1479), A. Suckling, Suff. ii. 40. da. and coh. of Roger Welsham (d.1401) of Runhall, Norf. and Willisham, Suff., Norf. RO, Norwich consist. ct., Reg. Harsyk, f. 273. wid. of John Sampson of Harkstead, Suff. Ibid. Reg. Gelour, f. 221; CP25(1)/224/113/53. C.F. Richmond, Paston Fam.: First Phase, 222n, erroneously states that Katherine married Sampson after the MP’s death. It is possible that Katherine was a half-sister of Fastolf’s first wife, Margaret, since her mother, who married Sir Robert Berney† after Roger Welsham died, refers to ‘her daughter’, Margaret Lovell, in her will of 1416: Norwich consist. ct. Reg. Hyrning, f. 5. ?Dist. 1439.
