  Family	Marie WARWICK,   b. Bef 1552,   d. Between 1571 and 1606  (Age ~ 19 years)
  Married	Family shown on p.464 of Vivian. John appears to have remarried between his mother's death and his own; Vivian shows all the children as being of his first marriage but I don't know if this is a safe assumption. (Some clearly are, without looking any further than the info given in Vivian, assuming accurate when he shows some as mentioned in the will of their grandmother Margery Warwick - John's wife Marie was still living then).
