Person
John Courteney
⚑ May combine several people — entries span 158 years; separation in progress
“John Courteney” likely stands for several same-named individuals (a father and son, or namesakes). The printed indexes drive the separation; until then all 10 entries stay pooled here.
The rolls attest a man of this name dead by 1415 (“late …”, an upper bound — the roll records a death only after it happened), yet 4 entries carry later dates — some will be posthumous estate business, the rest another man.
