| m. Joan de St. Owen (dau of John, "Lord St. Owen") named by BLG1952 as Joan, her father being given by BE1883 | |||||||||||||||
| BLG1952 indicates that Edmund was the elder of Richard's 2 sons but BE1883 indicates that Geoffrey was. | |||||||||||||||
| 1. | Sir Geoffrey de Cornewall of Ever, 1st of Burford (d before 06.1335) | ||||||||||||||

TPL referred to some recent work by John Reed (published by The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy) which suggests that there has been some confusion with the wives over the next few generations, starting with the view that the following Cecilia was probably not a Seymour. | |||||||||||||||
