Hello All,

     The exact date of the marriage of Sir John de Dinham (d. 7 Jan
1382/83) and Muriel de Courtenay is unknown, and has been defined to
date only by the approximation of the birth of their son John,
evidently born before 12 August 1359 as he was 'aged 10 and more'
at the date of the IPM of his uncle Hugh de Courtenay (12 Aug
1369) [1].

     The record of a gift of certain manors in Devon and Cornwall has
been found on the PRO site, which evidences that John de Dinham and
Muriel de Courtenay were married no later than 27 March 1357.  As
the manors conveyed by this gift were previously held by the Dinham
family, this is the 2nd part of a pair of transactions to
convey these manors to the wedded couple (held previously either by
John de Dinham himself - he was likely aged 37 or 38 at the time -
or by his mother Margaret or grandmother 'Lady Margaret d'Uvedale'
who were both then living).  The fact that William de Winkelton
(or 'Wynkaulton') was the rector of Morleigh, Devon and had been
presented by Isabel de Fissacre, mother of Margaret de Hydon (aka
Margaret d'Uvedale) in 1328 [2] would seem to point to the latter
as a likely participant in the gift of these manors.

     I should also note that Muriel's parents, Sir Thomas de
Courtenay and Muriel de Moels, were married shortly before
27 August 1337 (date of pardon for their marrying without
licence), which would point to a birthdate for Muriel
de Courtenay no earlier than say Jan 1337/38.  Her marriage
to Sir John de Dinham (and the presumption of her being no
less than 14 at that time) as dated above would point to her
being born no later than 27 March 1343, and most likely somewhat
earlier.  


     Hope this is of interest.

     Cheers,

                               John *
