Note (Additional information about the record)
- CPR 1422-9 p.455 is dated 1 December 1427 (the same date as no.1837 of C 81/688), and seems to be the earlier grant that the petitioners now find insufficient. It is hard to tell how long after this grant this petition was presented.CPR 1436-41 p.444, a grant for life of £10 annually to Agnes Jakeman and her husband Gilbert Par, in lieu of an earlier grant to her of £10 annually during pleasure, made on 28 February 1440, suggests that this petition was unsuccessful.
