    Probably this will is referring to another Ralph Roper who also had a son named Edmund. His wife's name seems to be given as Alice, and, furthermore, the wording of the will seems to imply that he is not the father of John.

    Hasted has Ralph marrying a daughter of Thomas Kempe in a second marriage.
