<< The fine in question states that the manor of Cokeham and the advowson
were settled in 17 Edward II [1323-1324] on Ralph de Camoys and his
wife, Elizabeth, for life, "with remainder to Ralph their son and heirs
of his body, with contingent remainders to John, brother [of Ralph],
Margaret and Isabel, sisters of Ralph, or right heirs of Ralph de
Camoys." [Reference: L.F. Salzman, An Abstract of the Feet of Fines
relating to the County of Sussex (Sussex Record Society, 53) (1916):
53].
In another fine dated 19 Edward II [1325-1326], a settlement is made on
Ralph de Camoys and Elizabeth his wife and John their son. A
contingent remainder is provided for John's brothers, Ralph and Hugh
[Reference: Ibid., 59]. >>
That's a nice set of fines. It would seem to insinuate that Hugh was born
exactly in the narrow range 1323/1326 since he is not mentioned in the first
fine while his sisters are.
