Constance Aleyn

Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Geddinge-1

Constance Geddyng was the daughter of William Geddyng of Icklingham, Suffolk and Margery Watkins.[1][2][3] She was her father's main heir.[1][2] Her birth date is uncertain.

Constance married twice. Her first husband was Henry Poley of Badley, Suffolk, son and heir of Simon Poley and Margaret Alcock.[1][2][4] They had two children:

1. Edmund, born about 1486[1][2][4]
2. William[1][2][4]

Henry Poley died in 1487.[1][2]

Constance's second husband was John Aleyn or Allen[1][2] of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.[3] They had four children:

1. William[1][2]
2. Joan, who married someone with the last name Talmache[1][2]
3. Anne, who married Bartholomew Kemp[1][2][5][6]
4. Elizabeth, who married Richard Bocking[1][2]

John's will (dated 1511) was proved in 1513, so he must have died no later than 1513.[1][2]

Constance survived her second husband, and was living in 1524.[1][2]

Research Notes

For a discussion of her descent from King John, please see Douglas Richardson's discussion on soc.genealogy.medieval here.

Henry Poley, Poley-100 has previously been shown on WikiTree as a son: there appears to be no good evidence for this, and he is not listed as a son in either the works of Douglas Richardson[1][2] or the Visitations of Suffolk.[4]
