| ii. | Ralph de Trenowith of Trenowith | ||||||||||||||
| Commoners & Visitation show Ralph as married only to a daughter of Richard Bushell and reports on their issue. However, although the names/dates may be coincidental, this appears to be the Ralph Trenewith or Trenouth of Trenowth in St. Probus, Cornwall (d 1393, MP) who is shown by HoP ('Ralph Trenewith of Trenowth') as son of Walter by Elizabeth and m1. Elizabeth Rushell (dau of Richard Rushell), 3 sons (1 dvp?), m2. Joan Bodrugan. We speculate that, despite the discrepancy with the identification of his parents, these were the one and same Ralph. | |||||||||||||||
