FWIW, the Sir John Gascoigne of Sedbury at D9 above is also not mentioned in
the pedigree of Gascoigne of Sedbury in Foster's edition of the Visitations
of Yorkshire [in this case the 1612 visitation] - although this is certainly
not conclusive evidence of his existence or non-existence. Does the VCH
account give any indication of its sources for this line? (I assume this is
not one of the VCH volumes availbale at British History On-line)
