⚑ May combine several people — entries span 159 years; separation in progress

“Robert Watton” likely stands for several same-named individuals (a father and son, or namesakes). The printed indexes drive the separation; until then all 17 entries stay pooled here.

The rolls attest a man of this name dead by 1472 (“late …”, an upper bound — the roll records a death only after it happened).

Similarly-spelled families (suggestions, not merged)

These surnames sound close to Watton (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.
