⚑ May combine several people — entries span 111 years; separation in progress

“John Engayne” likely stands for several same-named individuals (a father and son, or namesakes). The printed indexes drive the separation; until then all 124 entries stay pooled here.

The rolls attest a man of this name dead by 1339 (“late …”, an upper bound — the roll records a death only after it happened), yet 43 entries carry later dates — some will be posthumous estate business, the rest another man.

The volume editors' own General Index entries whose name matches this person — the curated authority for spellings, county and capacity. Page numbers are the printed pages.

This name may cover several people likely

The volume editors index both under this name. A curator confirms the split in data/aalt/person_splits.csv; entries then group by the editors' page references.

?Two people often share a name across generations. Narrow to a date window to isolate one of them, counts, map and charts all follow the window.

Similarly-spelled families (suggestions, not merged)

These surnames sound close to Engayne (e.g. Warenna/Warenne, Conestable/Constable). They are kept separate on purpose, some look-alikes are genuinely different families (Clare vs Claver). If you are sure two are one family, tell us to merge them.
