Family
 William Walweyn 1) 2)Son of William Walweyn and Joan Greyndour. Died ± 1471 3)
Will signed: 23 Nov 1471 3) Notes: William held land at Rewardyn, Bicknor (/Bickerton) and Hathaways, Herefordshire, per his IPM dated 1471 (C 140/37/26). Alice his only daughter succeeded him. Bicknor seems to have been purchased in 1441 from Nicholas Waterfall [Gloucestershire Archives - D2244/133]. The 1623 Gloucestershire visitation is unreliable for the Walweyn family: William is identified as Thomas and there are obvious mistakes. Similarly in the Baynham pedigree, William is identified as Thomas though there is a note caveatting that it might be William of Bickerton. William's mother was a member of the Greyndour family based on his inheritance of the manor of Clearwell in Newland and Jane Barre's IPM. Married/ Related to:  Elizabeth Unknown 4)Notes: William's wife is identified as Elizabeth Leakes (or similar) in most online family trees. No primary evidence for this claim has been identified. There was a William Lank who was involved in economic transactions with William Walweyn - see CP 25/1/83/55, number 40. He may have been Elizabeth's father but that requires significant speculation!
