GOODWIN-BLEDLOW-WILLIAMS

[PDel...@aol.com]

A little research has thrown up an interesting question;
John Goodwin , of Upper winchenden, +1558 married Katherine BLEDLOW, daughter
and coheir of Thomas Bledlow.
At the same time, John, Lord WILLIAMS of Thame married an Elizabeth, daughter
and co-heir of Thomas BLEDLOW
Could these BLEDLOWS be sisters?

John Williams was apparently related to the Williams who became Cromwell and
owed his advancement to his connection with thomas Cromwell.
