William de Vernay
⚑ May combine several people — entries span 206 years; separation in progress
“William de Vernay” likely stands for several same-named individuals (a father and son, or namesakes). The printed indexes drive the separation; until then all 11 entries stay pooled here.
The rolls attest a man of this name dead by 1361 (“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.
