⚑ May combine several people — entries span 92 years; separation in progress

“John Maykyn” likely stands for several same-named individuals (a father and son, or namesakes). The printed indexes drive the separation; until then all 22 entries stay pooled here.

The rolls attest a man of this name dead by 1376 (“late …”, an upper bound — the roll records a death only after it happened), yet 10 entries carry later dates — some will be posthumous estate business, the rest another man.

Possibly the same person, or kin

Others in the Maykyn family. Same forename + overlapping dates may be one identity (e.g. a remarried woman, or a mis-split father/son). See the whole family →

Similarly-spelled families (suggestions, not merged)

These surnames sound close to Maykyn (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.
