m. Cecily, wid. of Thomas Coleton, 1s.

m. 1s.

m. (1) by Feb. 1377, Agnes, wid. of Edmund Pecock of Windridge, Herts., Great and Little Cornard, Suff. and London; (2) by Feb. 1389, Margaret, da. and h. of Guy Boys (d. bef. 1370) of Great Munden, Herts. by his w. Cecily, da. and h. of John Osvill.Corporation of London RO, hr 105/3, 54; VCH Herts. iii. 125-6; J.E. Cussans, Herts. (Cashio), 253; CCR, 1385-9, p. 644. Some confusion exists about the identity of Digswell’s first wife, Agnes, whom the VCH (Herts. ii. 399) describes wrongly as the widow of John Somersham. Agnes’s sister-in-law was, in fact, Somersham’s wife; and it was her two daughters and coheirs, Margery and Alice, who (as his nieces and next of kin) inherited the estate left by Agnes’s first husband, Edmund Pecock, when he died without issue just before 1377.
