Sources:
  1. Title: Possible name for 1st wife of William Gerard II
    Author: Annual Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records, v26, p52 Calendar of Deeds, Inquisitions & Writs of Dower, Enrolled on the Plea Rolls of the County of Chester, Hen 3 & Edw 1
    Publication: Name: http://books.google.com/books?id=q2TygdglrFYC&pg=RA3-PA52#v=onepage;
    Note: 30 Edw 1 (1301-1302), Bradeleg Overe, Hawisia, who was the wife of John de, against William Gerard, Dower. [29, 30 Edw 1, m 4 d] NOTE: This is not 100% proof! Hawisia de Over Bradelegh, widow of John, claimed dower rights that she was due from William Gerard II. It was common practice for a widow to claim dower rights from their children. If William Gerard II’s 1st wife was already dead, it would explain why her name was not on Hawisia’s claim. We know William Gerard II remarried to Margaret, widow of John de Boydel, around 1309-1310, so it is very possible his 1st wife was already dead in 1301-1302.
