We had known that Katherine Sodaye married three times.
1) Ralph Greenway, Alderman of London
2) Jasper Allen (or Allyn)
3) Sir John White
and that she is buried at St Dunstan's 9 Oct 1576
Now knowing that Ralph Greenway, Alderman was himself buried there in
1559, we can narrow the chronology.  Also helpful is Henry Macyn's
diary entry stating that the wife of John Sodaye was buried there in
1556

Will,

Good stuff!

We can narrow this down slightly better by looking at the probate
grant for "Ralph Greenewaye or Greeneway, Alderman of St Dunstan in
the east" (PCC: PROB 11/40), made 27 June 1558 (sic); this indicates
that Stow was out by one year.

Cheers, Michael
