Joan. m. by Oct. 1391, Felicity, da. of Thomas Austyn (d.1391), of London, mercer, 2s. 2da.Corporation of London RO, hr 134/69, 140/61; Guildhall Lib. London 9171/1, ff. 244-5. The belief that Woodcock married Sir Richard Redmayne’s* sister, Felicity (CP, viii. 271), is demonstrably untrue in the light of Austyn’s property settlements.
