Catharine Griffin Catharine Griffin has her date of birth recorded as 1432.

There are no exact dates for her father Richard Curzon Richard Curzon, of Kedleston or mother Alice Curzon (Willoughby) Alice Curzon

However, the grandparents on her mother's side Robert Willoughby Sir Robert Willoughby and Margaret Griffith Margaret Griffith have dates recorded as 1420 and 1425 making them 12 and 7 when Catharine was born.

The lineage on Catharine's mother's side therefore seems highly suspicious.

Does anyone have a solution?

There’s no birthdate given in the citations for Margaret Griffith. Removed. The birthdate of 1432 for Katherine Curzon is not cited. So far I’m not seeing a howling error.

Found the problem, I think.

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Griffin-84

Nicholas Griffin, Esq., de jure 8th Lord Latimer, younger son of Nicholas Griffin of East Carlton, Northamptonshire and Margaret Pilkington, was born 5 June 1426 at Brixworth, Northamptonshire, England,[1][2] and was baptized at the church there that same day.[3]

Nicholas married Katherine Curzon (or Curson), daughter of Richard Curzon, Esq.,[3] and Isabel, widow of John Goddard,[2] before 26 August 1450, as his first wife.[1]


She’s the Croxall line, not the Kedleston line.
