On Leo's great web site here
http://www.genealogics.org/getperson.ph ... 2&tree=LEO

we see Agnes Berry and her husband William Paston with no dates and no
parents for Agnes.

I now present primary documentation showing
1) Agnes and William were both living in 1420
2) Agnes' father was Edmund Berre, Knt
3) Edmund Berre in 1420 was married with an Alice who, may or may not, be
Agnes' mother
4) Edmund Berry and Alice his wife were alive in 1420
5) the family held the manor of Oxnead which points to possible future
research

A bit more from the new DNB: they call him Sir Edmund Barry (rather

than Berry) and spell his home Orwellbury (without the initial H).
