1. John Fleming of Bradley (ca. 1345-1412) m. Alice (?Woderove) On 8 August 1372, John of Gaunt appointed his "good friend" John de Bradeley as master of the grammar school in Crofton, near Wakefield, Yorkshire [2]. On 2 August 1397, John de Bradlay of Crofton was one of the executors of the will of John Woderoue of Normanton [3]. In 1401-02, John de Bradlay was holding land in Crofton of the prior of St. Oswald, Nostell [4]. On 13 February 1402, the king granted for life to John Flemmyng of Bradeley and Alice his wife, two tuns of red wine of Gascony yearly from the king's wines in the port of Kingston upon Hull [5]. On 24 January 1404, the chief butler in the port of Kingston upon Hull, was sent a reminder by the king that the wine should be delivered to John Flemmynge of Bradeley and Alice his wife with arrears to the date of the original grant [6]. In 1415, the Wakefield Manor Rolls record that John Flemmyng of Crofton, alias Magister John de Bradelay, was dead and Robert Flemmyng, his son and heir, paid 12d. heriot for 3 acres [7].

1.1 Robert Fleming (ca. 1365-1425) married Margery. In 1418, the Wakefield Manor Rolls record that Robert Flemmynge paid 12d. heriot on the death of his father John Flemmynge of Crofton alias Magister John de Bradelay for 1 acre and 1 rood [8]. On 4 kal May 1420, Robert Flemyng, nobleman, of the diocese of York, and Marjory (Marierie) his wife had a papal indult for a portable altar [9].

1.1.1 Robert Fleming (ca. 1385-1459). The will of Robert Fleming, dated 20 April 1459 and proved on 18 July 1459. To be buried in the abbey of Saint Oswald, Nostell. Leaves the residue of his goods to Master Robert Fleming, dean of Lincoln and lady Beatrice Waterton who he makes his executors [10].

1.1.2 Richard Fleming (ca. 1387-Jan 1431) Bishop of Lincoln 1419-1431 [1].

1.1.3 Cecily Fleming (ca. 1390-1422) Married as his second wife, before March 1408 [11], Robert Waterton of Methley, Yorkshire.

1.1.1.1 Robert Fleming (ca. 1416-1483) Robert Fleming, dean of Lincoln [12].

That appears to be an outline of the family. If anyone can help fit in some missing pieces of the jigsaw, I would be very grateful.

Regards,

John
