Note: Location Bedford, Bedfordshire is 17.61 miles from All Saints Church, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. A second interpretation of this would have Her being treated while still married to her late husband while her married name was Bedford, but in Coventry, Warwickshire. This also fits well, although the John would have had to go just a bit further, 49.59 miles, for his emergency wife after Johanna apparently died a few months after childbirth, leaving him with an infant and several young children.
