BEB1844 shows the wives in reverse order, but still with the children by Joanna, and identifies Joanna as daughter of Thomas Radcliffe of Wimberley and widow of Edmund Radcliffe of Todmorden. That seems wrong. We follow BLG1886 which follows part of BLG1952 Radclyffe of Foxdenton and Hyde although that article is not fully consistent within itself.
