Well you also need to exclude the possibility that there were two Sir
William's both with wifes named Joan don't you? So far that's been
assumed, but
since we're still today finding new references I'm not sure we can
actually
assume that.

I fail to see your thinking on two William Brencheslee\ We have a series of references to the fact that Joan Batesford was married to William Brencheslee. for the time period we are discussingm and lots of activity in the courts with deeds and grants. Despite what you say that I accept what I write, I do a lot of research on the facts and have to accept some of the early documents as proof and if you can prove the documents wrong, great, I will be delighted. I am looking for the proof always. You jump to the conclusion that it is wrong without showing proof that it is wrong. For instance you said maybe Joan was a niece not a sister, but the Batisford did not have a son, only a 4 daughters. Again, the Bishops register is probably very reliable in what it says as the church documents were carefully kept. Here the document and the footnotes and references to find this online Abbey of Malling.

Pope Boniface IX on 5 December, 1400, ordered the abbess and convent to assign a -room within the precincts of the monastery to Cecily Batesford, one of the nuns, and a nun chosen by her to be her companion for life; as a certain infirmity prevented her from being present at the canonical hours in choir and chapter without great affliction. (fn. 21) Cecily appears to have recovered, for she died abbess in 1439; and in the next year her sister Joan Brincheslee made grants to the convent, who agreed in return that on 14 July, the day of Cecily's death, there should be celebration for Cecily and Joan with a distribution of three flagons of wine, one to the abbess if present and two to the convent. (fn. 22)
