    3. Hello: Thanks Ann + Rex. I am going through some things in detail, and am re-researching Markham books for myself from primary texts wherever I can find them to do so. I was thinking for a long time to republish 'Markham Memorials' updated, but I have so far decided to go to WT and place updates there, some just small lines added, but quite significant to follow. I have some way to go still, but am one by one, adding all the college entry info per person I can recognize, which will be most of them, Hearth Tax (HT) where possible, the one was interesting, William Markham (Goldsmith + Skinner) m. Joyous, 22 HT !!!. Managed to get the 5 pages from Google books sent to me by a very helpful Susan Reynolds, made a huge difference, I might post on that for anyone's interest, there is a single year date error in 'Markham Memorials' which is causing all the problems there for the author, quite unfortunate for Sir Clements, causing an over-lapping of two John Markham, and much confusion between them. It is not a print error. Finally found 'last wives' for them, which now matches things like Visitations and the genealogy of Francis Markham where 'other names' of wives were given, and have correctly placed them too, with more offspring. This was a good example where you might find the main ref. for a more ancient line of a family where you have the full name and surname of a wife, but also a more obscure ref. giving another first name of a wife, the latter is more than likely the name of a different and last wife!, whose surname might never be known etc. This particular 'coming together' of several Visitations, older genealogies, texts, and primary records, actually shows for the most part, they were actually all correct. That part of WT should be a first for the history books, with its precise connections, per person, with refs. Yes, thanks to John Riley for the translation, looks perfect, and will use it on WT, and will give ref. to you for this. Cheers - Bart [!!!] .... -----Original Message----- Answer: Syerston Notts. ---------------------------------

    3. You're welcome, Bart. For the record,  "armiger" actually signifies "a person entitled to bear heraldic arms" - so may not necessarily be a knight, and you may want to adjust the translation accordingly.
