Emmeline (d. 5 Jan. 1452), 2s. ?5da. (2 d.v.p.). Lambeth Pal. Lib., Reg. Stafford, f. 191. The ped. in Archaeologia Cantiana, xxviii. 24 gives his w. Emmeline’s surname as Walsingham, so it might be supposed that she was a da. of Thomas Walsingham† (d.1457) of London and Scadbury in Chislehurst, Kent. However, in the testamentary arrangements which the vintner Walsingham made in 1448, 1451 and 1457, he referred only to one da.
