    As there is no record of the marriage of John and Joane Convers or Cumbers, and as the baptism of the eldest son, Allen, is not of record, it is probable that the mother was of another parish and that her eldest child was baptized in the parish where her family lived. That she was perhaps, a Joane Allen is worth consideration. We may assume the marriage as taking place in 1555, as Allen the eldest son was not twenty one at the date of his father's will in 1574, and Thomas the next son was born in 1560. There is a record of baptism of a Joane Convers, no parentage specified, 10 Jan. 1558, and this may be the Jane of the will, and if so we might expect that Allen Convers was bom in 1556.
