«b»Biography
Birth and Parents«/b»
Joan Carminow was the daughter of Sir Roger Carminow and his wife Joan Dinham.
Estimate here birth year as, say, 1290. Her husband was born about 1288. They were married when he was 5 in 1293.
«b»Marriage to Sir William de Walesbreu«/b»
In 1293 when he was 5 years old, she was married to William de Walesbreu the son of Marcus de Whalesborugh and his wife Matilda Arundel.
Sir William de Walesbreu was born c1288 as he was age 14 in 1302 when he was heir to his older brother John who d.s.p. He was of Whalesborough (parish of St. Mawnan), Perran-Uthno (Udnow), Trerose, Langkerf (Lancarffe), Lamelwen (Lamellion), Elwen, and Tresider, in Cornwall.
In 1302, William Bottreux brought a Writ of Wardship against Roger Carminow to regain possession of William, the brother and heir of John de Whalesboro, presumably because he had suddenly became more valuable. Roger replied to the writ, "William whilst your ward married our daughter." Bottreux was apparently arguing the marriage wasn't valid because "William de Whalesboro was only 5 years old then, and under 14 now". That they remained married is confirmed by a fine in 1319 which names William De Whalebreus and Johanna his wife as default remainder heirs of Oliver Carminow. In a fine of 10 May 1321, Joan, wife of William de Walesbreu was called a sibling of Oliver de Carminow and in another fine of 13 Oct 1333 she is called Joan, who was the wife of William de Walesbreu. As a result of this marriage, the Whalesborough's are said by the History of Trerose Manor website to have acquired the manor of Trerose which had been a Carminow manor; Joan's father Sir Roger Carminow (d. 1308) began the building of Trerose church and his monumental effigy can still be seen in St. Mawgan. However, the Whaleborough's certainly had an interest in Trerose as early as 1213 when it is part of the dower Osemunda.
«b»1328 Husband's Death«/b»
Sir William De Walesbreu died in 21 August 1328. Tristram Risdon says that "Willelmus Whalisburgh de Whalesburgh, knight, obitt 1328" bore the arms "Gules, three bandlets argent on a bordure sable, nine bezants."
«b»1335 Lawsuits and Presentations«/b»
"Joan, who was wife of William de Walesbrew" occurs in a suit in 1335. As Joan, relict of William de Whalesbreu, she presented to St. Mawnan-in-Kerrier 23 Feb 1347 and 6 Nov 1348; her son Sir John de Whalesbreu made the next presentation on 6 Aug 1349 and 3 April 1350.
«b»1362 Death«/b»
She died after 1 March 1361/62 as she presented one last time at St. Mawnan as Joan, relict of William de Whalesbreu.
«b»Issue«/b»
