1st wife of Ralph Toke

Ralph Toke (1410 to 1451) has had several wives attributed to him and most names have been disproved (see below). His widow was Elizabeth who married Thomas Doyley next; she probably was not the mother of all his children.

Children of Ralph Toke:

• i. Joan2 Toke; m. John Isaac of Patricksbourne. Her son James Isaac was "cousin," feoffee and overseer of her brother Walter Toke, and executor of the will of her brother William Toke.
• ii. John Toke; d. s.p. before 1466.
• iii. Walter Toke; m. (1) Jane ;m. (2) Ellis ;d. 1498/9.
• iv. William Toke, the plaintiff of 1459-1466, when he was aged 23; m. Alice; d. c. 1471.
• ? v. Thomas Toke; m. Joan , probably a second wife; d. 1484.

Ralph Toke (the elder, his nephew, son of his brother Thomas, being the younger) was the most prominent of the three brothers. Born about 1410, the visitation pedigrees give him various wives but ignore Elizabeth, the wife who survived him. It is most improbable that he married "Jane Haut, daughter of Roger Haut," a close study of the Haute family making the existence of such persons very dubious. Nor can much satisfaction be drawn from the other alleged wife, "Maud, daughter of Henry Drmyn," a surname which challenges identification

The Haute attribution may arise from the fact that the mother of Joan Goldwell, wife of Thomas Toke, Ralph's brother, was a Haute

Gives Roger Hawte of County Kent as Jane Hawte's father, a birth place of Waltham, Kent, and a death of August 16, 1512 Dover, Kent, England. This must be a different generation of Hawte's.
