The following identifies ‘Castre’ as in the then co. Norfork, England. From Patent Rolls, May 17, 1283. The index for the volume insists on co. Norfolk for Castre. “The like to Lovedey and R. de Crepping, touching an appeal which William Gabbe of Rollesby brings in the county of Norfolk against Walter Trig and John son of Mathew le Carpenter of Castre for the death of John Clement of Hemesbey, his kinsman.” This John is no doubt the John in the 1345 document. When these documents speak of “death” it may refer to some accidental death which the relatives or claimants want financial restitution. I was perhaps precipitous in saying John was in Spain. A more careful statement would be he was somewhere in France from the quoted ‘Le Swyn’, a place yet unidentified, but seemingly French. However, John is clearly part owner of a ship with Spainish merchants, presumably importing-exporting to and from Spain. Sincerely, Bruce
