A February 1405 fine strongly implies (but doesn't explicitly state) that 525407Eleanor's father is 131348John Salerne.1 Her mother 1050815Agnes is also mentioned in the same record1 but is more definitively proven in a later chancery record.2



1050814John Salerne, 525406William Cheyne, and 525407Eleanor mentioned in a 1405 fine. The nature of the record strongly implies that 1050814John is 525407Eleanor's father.1


525407Eleanor and her sister Ann described as the daughters and heirs of 1050815Agnes, the late wife of 1050814John Salerne2

The abovementioned fine also proves that 525407Eleanor had married 525406William Cheyne by February 1405.1 For more information about their marriage, their lives together, etc., see his profile since that information won't be repeated here.

525407Eleanor outlived her husband, since he names her as an heir in his will, dated 31 May 1441.3 I have found no further record of her thereafter.
