Peter de Legh, of Bechton - actual dates

He had been with the wrong mother.

Jim Weber’s database has:

I’ve uploaded the page and adjusted the family accordingly. His rootsweb database is good on this area of English history, but of course you should look at the scholarly source data yourself.

Because of Omerod, who I think later corrects himself.
