Took off Roger and Anne, Hugh and Joanna after much research. Roger and Anne were in the wrong place. Janet was born in Scotland not England. Hugh and Joanna were the parents of a Janet but she was born in 1334-1400. Looks like someone mixed them up. The only parents that fit with date, place and time were William Giffard and Anne Brewer. I found my information on Ancestry.com and My Heritage. Also, checked Burke's Peerage and the internet.
It was also stated that they only had one child which was Barbara.
Needs more research. I also do not agree with most of the dates that are put on these people. It is up in the air as to which one is right?
