Son of: Sir Adam de Bostock (1412) and Elizabeth (1414) OHC
Born: Aged 20 in 1460. His estimated date of birth is kept to 1434 as he is always shown as the eldest son in the family, and it is hard to make the dates fit, especially Nicholas (1437), if Ralph's birth is moved forward to 1440. Perhaps he was aged > 20 in the 1460 document. OHC
