- Notes: Joan and John's marriage is shown variously as 1547/1548 at Plymtree in Devon.
THis was the period when Henry VIII died and was succeeded by his son Edward
VI and when Mary Queen of Scots who was betrothed to the Dauphin went to
France. At this time too, Nostradamus made his first predictions.
Joan and John's daughter Tomsen was born on 23 Oct 1548. By the time she
married 19-year-old Michael Chowne on 21 Jul 1569, her Christian name was
spelled Tamsen. Spellings vary on many records and the 'e' is often dropped from
Chowne.
