Note: This Nicholas was over 50 in 1428 and was able to give birth and baptism information for the son Thomas [1406] of the other Nicholas [1370-1416]. This is the only known possible parental placement which is not impossible due to such disqualifications, as duplicating sibling surnames, or disqualifying the known heir and still abe to produce a child of the correct age.
