• Notes:

  === Life Sketch ===
  Isabella Wadham, daughter of John Wadham, Justice of the Common Pleas, and Elizabeth Shilston. Born about 1379.
  Isabella married Sir Robert Hill of Shilston, Justice of the Pleas (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ROBERT HILL OF SPAXTON)
  They were the parents of:
  - Robert Hill born 1392 married Margaret Champernowne
  - John Hill born 1393
  - Alice Hill, married William le Moyne
  - Johanna Hill, born 1394
  
  Isabella Wadham Hill is reported to have died in 1423.
  
  PLEASE TAKE CARE NOT TO CONFUSE HER WITH ISABEL FICHET WHO WAS THE WIFE OF A DIFFERENT ROBERT HILL. Although living at the same time in the same county they were not the same woman.
  
  === NOT THE SAME AS ISABEL FICHET OF SPAXTON ===
  Please take care not to confuse Isabella Wadham Hill with Isabel Fichet
  
  They are often confused and merged in error.
  
  Both women married a different Robert Hill and lived in the came area at the same time but are very different.
  
  Isabella Wadham, was the daughter of John Wadham, born about 1379. Married SIR ROBERT HILL OF SHILSTON (Justice of the Common Pleas) before 1392 when their son Robert Hill II was born. Is often reported to have died in 1423 however this needs to be confirmed, as it is not currently supported by sources.
  
  Isabel (notice name is spelled differently) Fichet was the daughter of Thomas Fichet, she was a rich underaged heiress in custody of the crown and is therefore well documented; She was born in 1383, married in 1394 at age 11 to ROBERT HILL OF SPAXTON. Had only 2 children: John and Elizabeth, and died in 1419 (according to parliament records)
  
  Isabella Wadham and Isabel Fichet are constantly being confused with each other. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME
