Footnotes

  • 1. Survey of Cath., followed by Le Neve-Hardy, gives Walter Barker as adm. 8 Aug. 1567, and John Walton adm. 12 Oct. 1576, but no evidence has been found for these. However, Walton d. 1 June 1603 (m.i., Derby, All Saints (Survey of Cath. I 421)), which would tally with the date of Roger Barker's instal. (below).
