  • 10. Cockfield Sf.
  • 11. Martin de Amberesbire, goldsmith 1278 LBA 25, M. de Aumbresbire 1293 ib. 198 (elected a sheriff), M. de Aumbresbury 1311 LBD 270 (late sheriff). An earlier goldsmith with this surname was Geoffrey de Ambresbure 1272-3 Will (of St. Michael). - Amesbury W.
  • 12. OE Somann fn; cf. ELPN 59. A late instance of the name is Semannus de London 1288 St. Ives. Peleter means 'skinner'.
  • 13. The same name is found as no. 75. The following instances may refer to either of the two: William le Caundeler 1298-9 Mayors 50 (with nos. 5 and 9), W. le Chaundeler de Wodestrete 1303 f. LBB 128, 139, W. le Chaundeler 1311 LBD 263 (surety with no. 15), 1317-18 LBE 83 (witness St. Michael).

  • 16. OF braceor 'brewer'.
  • 17. The spelling of the surname is ambiguous; cf. p. 5. If the correct reading is York, Gilote may be William de York, goldsmith 1310 LBB 232, also called W. Everard (goldsmith) 1294 Cl, 1299 LBB 92, and W. de York called Everard 1311 LBB 30. If so, the de has been omitted.
  • 18. Thomas de Chygewell 1298 Mayors 2, Th. de Chykewell, lorriner 1301 ib. 112 (surety with no. 19). A lorimer. - Chigwell Ess.
  • 19. John de (sic) Gay 1301 Mayors 112, J. Gay 1313 LBD 316 (warden of lorimers), 1319 S [CripI 24]. - ME gay, OF gai 'merry, cheerful'.
  • 20. Morpah no doubt for Morpath with omission of de. Cf. Alexander de Morpathe 1321 Lib Alb II, 412. - Morpeth Nb.
  • 21. John Michel 1301 Mayors 112 (surety with nos. 18 f.), 1304 LBB 145 (lorimer), 1313 LBD 316 (warden of lorimers), 1319 S [CripE 77], 1322 Cor 66 (St. Mary Staining).
  • 22. Dunmow Ess.
  • 23. OE hogg 'hog', ME hog also 'a young sheep' (a nickname).
  • 25. Orleans (France).
  • 26. Matthew le Peyntour 1302 Mayors 124, M. le Payntour 1304 LBC 140.
  • 27. The surname is partly illegible, but probably represents Botoner. The taxpayer is no doubt Gregory le Botoner 1297 LBB 238 (repr. Crip), 1304-5 Mayors 171 (juror St. Michael). - Botoner (OF botonier) means 'maker or seller of buttons', but some persons with this surname were mercers.
  • 28. Stephen Haweteyn 1278 LBA 19, S. Hautein 1297 LBB 238 (repr. Crip), S. Hauteyn 1304 Will (mercer, will not proved). - ME, OF hautain 'haughty, proud'.
  • 29. Robert de Odiham 1281 LBB 5 (surety of a goldsmith with several goldsmiths). The prep. de has been omitted. - Odiham Ha.
  • 30. William de Harwe 1297 LBC 244 (juror St. Alphage), perhaps W. de Harewe, goldsmith 1308 Will. - Harrow Mx.
  • 31. William le Taylur 1292 LBA 180 (witness with no. 28), W. the Tailor 1316-17 CW 270 (a legatee of Beatrix, widow of Henry Hauteyn).
  • 32. Perhaps Richard de Enefeud le heymongere 1295 LBB 60.
  • 33. Henry de Kent 1292-3 LBA 182 (resident in St. Mary Aldermanbury), 1292-3 ib. 146 (chaucer, i.e. hosier), 1319 S [CripI 14].
  • 35. John de Northampton 1253 ADA 1625 (sheriff), J. de Northamptone, tailor 1305 Will (a tenant in Addelane in St. Alban). He was a sheriff 1253-4, 1260-1, and alderman of Aldgate c. 1260-86. The identity of the taxpayer of 1292 with the alderman is obvious, since the executors of J. de Northampton, former sheriff, are referred to in 1305 (Parl Westm 58). He must have become very old, which may explain his low assessment.
  • 36. The same name appears as no. 46. One of these will be John le Chaundiler 1292 LBA 180 (witness St. Alphage).
  • 37. ME bornyshour (c. 1450) 'burnisher'.
  • 38. Andrew de Ibernia, tailor 1282 LBA 49.

  • 41. ME wis 'wise'.
  • 42. Robert de Waultham, carpenter 1301-2 ADA 11860 (holder of a tenement in St. Giles without Cripplegate. - Waltham (common).
  • 43. Chishall Ess.
  • 44. A girdler. Trippe is a well evidenced surname; cf. Hugh Trippe 1312 LBE 14, Henry Trippe 1324 Cor 95. It may mean 'one who trips in his walk'.
  • 45. The surname means 'poulterer'.
  • 46. Cf. no. 36.
  • 48. Thomas le Hodere 1311 LBD 143. An apprentice cf his, enrolled in 1286, was admitted. - ME hodere 'maker of hoods'.
  • 49. Richard le Cordewaner 1298-9 Mayors 50 (threatened in his house in Wood St, while cutting leather, thus a shoemaker).
  • 50. Perhaps John Peyure (Peper) 1298 Mayors 7 ff. (imprisoned in Cripplegate prison), J. Peper 1298 LBA 184. Peyure, Peper will be forms of peverer (OF pevrier) and pepperer, synonyms of spicer.
  • 51. Moulton (common).
  • 52. John atte Gate 1288 LBA 109 (coureur), John, son of John atte Gate 1291 ib. 131. J. atte Gate 1319 S [CripI 32] is probably John junior. Connreyere is OF conreeur 'currier'.

  • 54. John de Befald 1299-1300 Mayors 64, J. de Byfolde, coureour 1305 LBB 154, J. de Bifold 1309 Will. He was of Crip, as seen from LBD 114. - Byfold, an unidentified place. One William de Befaud was a tenant in Horseheath, Shudy Camps, etc. (Ca) in 1279 (RH II, 422 ff.).
  • 55. Peter, servant and legatee of Adam Perceval of St. Alphage 1283 CW 65, P. Perceval le Hodere 1314 Will. Peter probably inherited also his master's surname. - Cf. no. 48.
  • 56. William de Craye, seller of goat-fells 1278-9 LBA 27, W. de Creye 1299-1300 Mayors 56. - Cray K.
  • 57. There is a hole in the MS. between M and b, but the name was evidently Meldeburne. Reginald de Meldeburne 1292-3 LBA 146, 182 (gorgerer or maker of gorgers, i.e. armour for the throat; a tenant in St. Mary Aldermanbury), 1297-8 LBB 246 (repr. Crip). - Melbourn Ca.

  • 65. Very likely John de St. Albans 1298 Mayors 5 (cordwainer or shoemaker). - St. Alban Wood St or St. Albans Hrt.
  • 66. Not found elsewhere. - Perhaps Bitton Gl.
  • 67. John de Meleford 1292 LBA 179, J. de Meleford junior, fruiterer 1292-3 ib. 182 (lessor of a tenement in St. Mary Aldermanbury to no. 57). - Melford Sf.

Adam was the son-in-law of William Trog (1293 Will); no doubt he took the surname of his father-in-law and probably master. - There is an early Engl trug 'prostitute, trull' (1592, etc. OED).
  • 77. The surname was taken from some place in France (Chenay, etc.).
  • 78. Richard de Monpeillers 1281-2 LBA 48, R. de Monte Pessulano (Mumpeiler) 1297-8 LBB 67, R. de Montpellier 1299 LBB 91 (apothecary), R. de Mountpeillers, espicer 1310 ib. 253, R. de Mounpelers c. 1313 LBC 238 (tenant of a shop in Speciaria).
