Family

Alternative parents: The Geni entry for Geoffrey Dormer[4] includes information that it cites to "The Family of Dormer in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire by Michael Maclagan" (with a link to the pdf), which shows Geoffrey Dormer's wife as Alice, daughter of Bartholomew Collingridge (in the char, pp 10-11). Text on the Geni page includes:

"It may fairly be presumed that William Collingridge, son of Bartholomew and Alys, perished young or without issue, and that his sister Alice, wife of Geoffrey Dormer, became heiress of her parents."

Marriage to Geffey Dormer. WikiTree had their marriage as 1436, which obviously does not work with the changed birth year (to 1438). The Wikipedia article on their son Michael, who became a Lord Mayor of London, says "Geoffrey Dormer had five sons [by his first marriage]. By his second marriage, Geoffrey Dormer had seven sons, including Michael Dormer, and five daughters. By 1498, however, only six of Geoffrey Dormer's twelve sons were still living, William and Thomas, by his first marriage, and Geoffrey, Michael, Peter and Edward by his second marriage."[5] If we infer that by 1498, their children (who survived) had attained their majority, then we can make a guess at their marriage year by adding 21 to 24 (12 children, with 2 years between births): 1498-45=1453, which is feasible with the birth year guess of 1438 for Alice (first child born at 15, but could easily be 18, as 2 years between births is a generous estimate). So... marriage c1455.
