DEVON.  Proof of age. Honiton . 6 November 1426. [Copleston]

The  jurors say that Joan was born at Combe Raleigh (Combe Rale) and  baptised in the church there, and was aged 16 years on 25 October  last.
They recollect for the following reasons.
William  Faryngdon and Walter Batston , both aged 40 years, carried water to fill the font in the church for Joan’s baptism. Gilbert atte Wode , Henry Franke , Walter Tracy and Thomas atte Tone , each 44  years, carried bread and wine for Joan’s godfather and godmothers , immediately after the baptism in the church, as was the custom.

 John  Hylman , John Hendy , Henry Godford and John Karsewyll , each 50  years, were then servants in her father’s house. The first three were sent to get the godfather and godmothers to fulfil  their roles in her baptism and John Karsewyll  was sent to get the parish chaplain of the church. Nicholas Lange , 46, says that  Joan’s  first wet-nurse was Juliane his wife. William Flay, junior , 43 years, held  and carried a candle at the time of baptism in the child.

Girls were considered adult at 12 years old , ready to be married off and have children
This  is the grandaughter of Johanna Chudleigh by her 1st husband  John St Aubyn , their son John St Aubyn married  Catherine Challons and had 2 daughters
Joan mentioned here already married in 1426 at age 16  Vivian tells us her sister Margaret who was married age 13 to Reginald Trethererff.
