Note (Additional information about the record)
- Tentatively dated to c. 1479 with reference to C 140/73/75 and C 140/77/79. The inquisition for John Doreward (C 140/77/79) was not held until 20 February 20 Edward IV (1481), but that on Thomas Ursewyk (C 140/73/75 - if this is the same man as the petitioner) was held in November 19 Edward IV (1479). This petition was probably presented shortly before Ursewyk's death and came to nothing because of it.
