This is not an area I have visited before so am reluctant to dive in & make changes. I will point out why I think it needs some work though which hopefully will be helpful.

Information on the about me does not correlate with the tree - for example:
1. The parents of Geoffrey given in the about me are Ralph and Margaret but the tree shows his parents as Geoffrey and Joan.

2. The dates on the about me don't match the dates given on the profile|tree.

l found this profile because I was looking for the correct place for a profile of Ralph Josselyn Lord Mayor of London whose current profile is incorrect -see:
Sir Ralph Jocelyn#

If there is someone who claims descent, this seems to me an area where original internet research (rather than reproducing earlier conjectures on the web) could pay dividends. The one thing which we can be sure of in a Lord Mayor of London is that he was not poor. He will almost certainly, therefore, have left a will, been subject to an inquisition post mortem which will have listed his surviving children (if any) or other possible heirs, may possibly have given his date of death, and probably have left records of land transactions. All of these are slowly becoming available on-line at the UK National Archives.
