Notes for Sir James Bourchier
The 1584-5 Visitation says he was eldest son and gives his full and younger brother as Humphrey. It could be that James was indeed first-born but before his parent were married and Humphrey was the first legitimate son. (Shades of a similar story about the socially not so eminent Lybbes of that period!)
