- Kilbride, [Lanarkshire, Scotland]
- York

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The guard note suggests a date of c. 1322 seq., but this does seem unlikely as related petitions appear to date to the parliament held at York in 1322 and earlier, and this petition complains of Hugh le Despenser as well, an unlikely occurrence in 1322. It seems far more likely that the petition is from early Edward III, and therefore? 1327.
