Sir John Pelham, knight of the Bath, Sheriff of Sussex and Surrey had a birth date after his parent's (Sir Walter de Pelham) death date.

so either these unsupported dates 1239 - 1292 for Sir Walter de Pelham are wrong, or John isn't his son.

According to this

he was the son of Thomas de Pelham, Il, of Warbleton and Agnes de Gensing.

But he didn't have that wife.

The rumour mill says she married a later John Pelham, though not the bastard son.

But he's slippery and hasn't been pinned down. Sir John had no nephews called Pelham, so I suspect the mystery John never existed.

We're pretty sure the Sir John Knight existed.. See https://www.geni.com/discussions/221390?msg=1428711

I think you're not saying that though.

Cutting the relationship to Sir Walter.
