Robert de Weneloc c. 1200 HMC 9th Rep 26 a (witness London), Walter de Wenlok 1287 MxFF 61 (a claimant in Stanwell Mx). - Wenlock Sa.
  • 2. John de Hertford 1286 LBA 166, 1300 Mem 43 (of Broad St ward). Presumably a merchant. - Hertford Hrt.

  • 5. Nicholas Hauteyn 1298 Mayors 12, 1298 LBA 184 (alderman). He was an alderman (of Coleman St) only in 1298 and probably died early.

  • 6. Walter Haweteyn 1276-7 LBA 12, W. Hauteyn 1282 ib. 55 (mercer), 1292-3 Will. He left to Alice his wife, a nun at St. Sepulchre's, his dwellinghouse upon Cornhill; she was a daughter of John de Evre (cf. no. 3). He was a sheriff 1286-7 and alderman of Coleman St 1290-2. Walter Hauteyn, mercer, of Lincoln LBC 10 must be a different man. - Cf. CripI 28.
  • 7. Perhaps a cordwainer like Reginald de Chigenhal (1280 LBA 33), Roger de Chygenhale (1281 LBB 8). - Chignall Ess.

  • 40. Edmund le Taillur de Otteswich (i. e. St. Martin Outwich) 1293 LBC 18.

Robert his son, was sworn City carpenter in 1300-1 (LBC 86), and John was probably a carpenter. But a nephew of his, Thomas Ossekin (1279 Will), was a cordwainer. - Osekin is no doubt a font-name.
  • 50. Possibly Eweseye is for Oweseye. If so, perhaps John Oveseye, the will of whose daughter Katherine was enrolled in 1333-4. - Osea Island Ess.
  • 51. A water-carrier. Waterladestre has not been found elsewhere.
  • 52. Richard de Cunnthone 1296 LBB 63, R. de Comptone 1299 ib. 93, 1302 ib. 116 (executor of no. 65), 1306 ib. 171 (a debitor of no. 53). Agnes, relict of R. de Comptone 1307-8 ib. 201. Perhaps a mercer. - Compton (common).

The surname varies between Pheliper and Upheldere, both 'fripperer', and Hodere. He will have been a fripperer at least in the early part of his career. Cf. Nicholas Godwyn 1319 S [Walbr 65].
  • 63. John de Bottone, coffrer 1281 LBB 9, J. Bocton, coffrer 1287 ADA 1625, J. de Bokton 1298-9 Will. He was dead in 1295, since his executors are mentioned in that year (LBB 60). He will have lived in St. Bartholomew, where he founded a chantry. - Boughton K, Chs.
  • 64. Thomas le Chapeler 1294 LBA 199 (witness St. Margaret Lothbury). The surname means 'hatter', but Thomas was very likely a mercer.
