Hi: I'm not sure, so have to use the TNA Wills 1384-1858 website to check when I am uncertain about the information that is provided to me. (I like to use the name and place name spelling as given by TNA, as well as the full reference, so I have to check these if it's not clear that the transcriber has.)
