⚑ May combine several people — entries span 143 years; separation in progress

“Margaret” likely stands for several same-named individuals (a father and son, or namesakes). The printed indexes drive the separation; until then all 31 entries stay pooled here.

The rolls attest a man of this name dead by 1271 (“late …”, an upper bound — the roll records a death only after it happened), yet 31 entries carry later dates — some will be posthumous estate business, the rest another man.

This individual is named in the rolls only through a relationship (“the wife of …”). We have given her the surname of the man named; treat the identity and surname as inferred.

?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.

Possibly the same person, or kin

Others in the same 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 this one (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.
