Wow, there are all kinds of possibilities here: 1) Caterana is the widow of
a deceased son(daughter in law) 2) she is the daughter from a previous
marriage of Henry's wife (step daughter but term had a different meaning
then (in which case I would look for a marriage of a Caterana (the mother)
to a Cockman or a will of a Cockman - various spellings - who had a wife
Caterana and a daughter Caterana - or 3) She is Henry's daughter and her
name was actually Inna Caterana. Fascinating!
