  • 2. Among deaths for 1514 (546). John Conyers or Conias was granted a grace suffi- cient for entry at Cambridge 1500–1 (Emden, BRUC to 1500). He was also apparently curate at St Margaret Westminster in 1503 (Hennessy, p 438).
  • 3. Perhaps the Richard Bromwich (Browich) who was rector of St Benet Sherehog, resigning the living in 1527 (Hennessy, p 387).

  • 7. Another clerk of this name was among admissions for 1521 (613). A John Charles was parish clerk of St George Southwark in 1534 (London Metropolitan Archives: DW/PA/7/4, f. 86v). We owe this reference to Graham Dawson.
  • 8. Among deaths for 1519 (598). Probably the Thomas Killick (Kyllyke) of St Botolph Bishopsgate who died intestate in 1518 and whose widow was named Eliz- abeth (Guildhall MS 9168/6, f. 19). An Elizabeth Killick (Kyllyk) is among clerks' wives admitted in 1515 (553). Thomas was involved in a law case against another clerk, Andrew Higgins, in 1518 (Baillie, Biographical Notes).
  • 9. Robert Skinner was a gentleman of the Chapel Royal by 1524, remaining in post until his death in 1528. By his will of 14 February, proved 17 March, 1528, he left 'an angel noble to the brethren of St Nicholas'. See Biographical Dictionary of English Court Musicians.

  • 11. Perhaps the Agnes, wife of Stephen Morris, among clerks admitted in 1507 (460). If so, she was apparently still alive in 1529 when she was instructed to give warning to the fraternities of the Pappey and the parish clerks to bury him (Guildhall MS 9171/10, f. 127v).
  • 12. Presumably the Robert Fenrother, alderman 1511–24 and prime warden of the Goldsmiths 1517 (Beaven II, 23).

  • 13. Probably the Brian Roche of St Martin Orgar whose will of 12 May, was proved 24 May, 1514 (PROB 11/17, f. 263v).

A Mistress Eliza- beth Roche was admitted with him below (514) and a William Roche appears among deaths for 1514 (549).
  • 14. Perhaps the Thomas Crisp (Cryspe), citizen and mercer, who requested burial before the choir door in St Martin Pomeroy as close as possible to his late wife Eliz- abeth (if he died in London) by his will of 12 December 1531, proved 14 March 1532 (PROB 11/24, f. 90r). An Elizabeth Crisp was admitted with Thomas below (514) and appears among deaths for 1520 (611).
  • 15. Among deaths (as Mr John Thomas) for 1515 (559). John Thomas, citizen and mercer, requested burial in the church of St Thomas of Acon if he died in London (although a parishioner of St Martin Pomeroy) by his will of 1 October 1512, proved 7 December 1514 (PROB 11/17, f. 226r). He left 20s to the parish clerks' fraternity to pray specially for him. His wife Katherine, mentioned there, is presum- ably the Katherine Thomas admitted with John below (514).
  • 16. See Agnes Sawndell below (514).
  • 17. Among deaths for 1520 (610). Probably the Richard Keen (Kene), citizen and gold- smith, who requested burial in the church of St Vedast (PROB 11/20, f. 5r). His wife Elizabeth, mentioned there, may be the Elizabeth Keen among admissions for 1514 (545). An Alice Keen (Kene) is also among deaths for 1511 below (519).
  • 18. Probably the John Quickerell of All Hallows Lombard Street, administration of whose will was granted on 2 July 1523 (PROB 11/21, f. 79v), as the name is so unusual. His wife Alice is mentioned there and an Alice Quickerell (Qwykerll) is among admissions for 1515 (555).
  • 19. A John Yellyn, mercer, requested burial in the Trinity chapel of St Lawrence Jewry by his will of 12 May 1526, proved 21 January 1527 (PROB 11/22, f. 96r). He left 4d to every clerk present at his funeral.

Probably the Robert Nisam (Nisham), citizen and baker, who requested burial by his pew in the south aisle of St Andrew Undershaft in his will of 19 February, proved 8 March, 1543 (PROB 11/29, f. 127r). His wife Agnes is mentioned there and an Agnes Nisam was admitted with Robert below (514).
  • 21. Perhaps the Richard Callard (Calarde), citizen and painter stainer, of Islington, Middlesex.

By 1544 he was married to Anne, widow of Sir John Clerk, Kt. An Alice Callard was admitted with Richard below (514).
  • 22. See Master Brian Roche above (513).
  • 23. Julian, wife of Robert Fenrother (Fenruter) admitted above (513). She survived her husband, and by her will of 5 December 1535, proved 17 June 1536, she requested burial with him in the church of St John Zachary (PROB 11/25, f. 275v). Julian left 6s 8d to the parish clerks' and Pappey fraternities respectively for their prayers.
  • 24. Among deaths (as Betrys Schore) for 1512 (529). Perhaps the Beatrice Shore, widow, of St Mildred Poultry, whose will was proved on 22 September 1511 (Guildhall MS 9168/3, f. 58v).
  • 25. Among deaths for 1520 (611). See Thomas Crisp above (513).

  • 29. Perhaps the Agnes Sawndell, parishioner of St Mary Colechurch and widow of John Sawndell, citizen and vintner, who requested burial with her husband in the Lady chapel of the Mercers' church [St Thomas of Acon] by her will of 18 June 1543, proved 30 November 1545 (Guildhall MS 9171/11, f. 169r). A John Sawn- dell was admitted with her above (513).
  • 30. Presumably the Paskin Wise (Wyse), parishioner of St Mary Woolnoth, to whose executors probate of her will was granted on 26 September 1511 (Guildhall MS 9168/3, f. 60r).
  • 31. See Richard Oldcastle (Oldcastel) below (518).
  • 32. See Robert Nisam above (513).
  • 33. See Richard Callard above (513).
  • 34. Perhaps the Ellen Bonyvant (Bonyfaunt), of St Mary Woolchurch, whose will was first declined as false, but then vindicated and proved [1526] (see Guildhall MS 9161/7, ff. 152v-3r, 159r, 201r-11r).
  • 35. There is an abbreviation mark over the second letter 'a' in the MS which might be expanded to 'ha' or 'm'.
  • 36. The scribe had begun to write 'Richardus' for the Christian name, but erased this and replaced it by 'Willelmus'.
  • 37. Perhaps the alderman 1503–11 and master of the Grocers in 1504 and 1510 of this name (Beaven, II. 20). Warner requested burial in the church of All Hallows Lombard Street by his will of 12 February, proved 13 March, 1511 (PROB 11/16, f. 297v), the south aisle of which he had rebuilt (Stow, Survey, ed Kingsford, I, 202).
  • 38. Probably the Richard Hungerford, esquire, who requested burial in the nave of the Blackfriars' church, London (although a parishioner of St Stephen Coleman Street) by his will of 12 September, proved 4 November, 1510 (PROB 11/16, f. 268v).
  • 39.

His wife Joan and son Harry are mentioned there and match the Joan Oldcastle (Oldcastell) admitted above (514) and the Henry Oldcastle among admissions for 1514 (544).
  • 40. An Elizabeth Tyrell (Turyll), widow, of St Thomas the Apostle is recorded in the Commissary court act book among entries for 1510, where executors are named after her death (Guildhall MS 9168/3, f. 38v).
  • 41. Probably the Anne Ostrich mentioned in the will of Thomas Ostrich (60, 256), haberdasher, of 24 July 1483, proved 16 March 1485, as his wife and a sister of the parish clerks' fraternity, he himself being a brother (PROB 11/7, f. 161r).
  • 42. This was an extraordinary year in which two masters of the fraternity died in office. John Papworth, junior master, died at the end of the first quarter of the clerks' year. He was replaced by Thomas Pinkey, who himself died towards the end of the year and whose term of office was completed by William Vere who had previously served as junior master in 1511.
  • 43. The scribe has written 'clerici' in error here.
  • 44. St Clement Danes.
  • 45. Probably the Hugh Walker who was rector of St Martin Pomeroy (resigned 1520) and of St Katherine Coleman 1517–23 when he died. A priest of this name was also rector of Chiswick 1510–7 (Hennessy, pp 117, 124, 284 and lxxi).
  • 46. Among deaths (where his surname appears as Ravenyng) for 1514 (546). William Ravening was previously a King's scholar at Eton 1496–1500, scholar (1500) and fellow (1503) of King's College, Cambridge and was ordained priest on 22 March 1505 in St Paul's Cathedral on the title of his fellowship (Emden, BRUC to 1500). He was apparently a priest at St Margaret Westminster as he requested burial in the choir there by his will of 30 March, proved 22 April, 1514 (Westminster City Archives: Peculiar Court of the Dean and Chapter (formerly the Abbot) of West- minster, Register Wyks f. 96r). See also his mother, Isobel Ravening, named in his will, apparently among deaths for 1514 (550).
  • 47. A Robert Pearce (or Peyrs) of London diocese was ordained subdeacon on 27 March, deacon 10 April, and priest (on the title of St Mary's Hospital Bishopsgate) 5 June, 1501 (Davis, 18926).
  • 48. Perhaps the William Brian of London diocese who was ordained there as subdeacon on 16 March, deacon 30 March (on the title of Stratford Langthom), and priest 25 May, all in 1510 (Davis, 15516).
