Margaret Swillington, daughter of Roger Swillington by his wife Joan
is called "heiress" of her father, that would then mean, for the other
girl to go here, she also has to be an heiress.

That might be one thing to explore.

[wjhonson]

If Conan Aske were already age 23 in 1427 when he was held heir to his
grandfather William Pert (who had evidently just died) and no mention
was made (was it?) of William's widow Joan then I suggest that Joan
was dead.

Roger Swillington died in 1418
(cite http://books.google.com/books?id=VNQKAA ... nhill+1449)

So I suggest that Roger wasn't Joan's second husband, but rather her
first. And William Pert was her second.
