Hi Sue Very interesting!! I had a look at the Gloucestershire Military Survey 1522 in the hope of identifying some of the individuals you've listed. To my surprise there wasn't a single IDDOLL (any variation, or EDDOLL) in the Index. I found the following: (* = fit or able to undertake military service) Hawkesbury *John LONGDENE jun £6 Bow & bill John LONGDENE sen £7 sllaet & bill William LONGDENE £16 brigandine, sallet & bill *Nicholas LONGDENE £20 harness for a man William HOLBOROWE £3 sallet Joan HOLBOROW wid 20s John HOLBOROWE £10 brigandine Robert HARDYNG £12 sallet, gorge, splints & bill *John HARDYNG £8 sallet bow and arrows Thomas WATTES chaplain, has in stipend 66s 8d Nicholas WATTES 66s 8d Chipping Sodbury John WATTES 30s Edith WATTES wid 20s Robert BOYS £4 bill Littleton upon Severn *Robert BOYES £10 brigandines & sallet Henbury John BOYES £4 Charlton *John WATTES 40s Tewkesbury *Thomas BOYS £13 6s 8d Roger BOYS chaplain (for) his stipend £5 6s 8d NB This list does not include all the entries for each name 9aprt from BOYS) I have included only those in the area covered by Sue's list Cheers Carole -----Original Message----- From: SSiss165@aol.com [mailto:SSiss165@aol.com] Sent: 14 May 2005 17:20 To: ENG-GLO-HAWKESBURY-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [HWK] 1545 Subsidy for Grumbalds Ash A few snippets which may be of interest to anyone researching BOOY, HARDING, HOLBOROW, IDOLLS, LONGDEN, VENN & WATTS.
