Does anyone have ready access to the early names of the clergy of St John's? I have a will of John Young of St John's dated Feb 1584/5. The man appears to be quite pious/religious and leaves his do(u)blet to father Malcolm. John's own father's name was Thomas. Was there a vicar by that name in St John's about that time, or am I to assume that he was a friar or monk living in the parish? Roger Young

Hi Roger, Google in CCED Portal this is the Church of England Clergyman database, it lists clergymen back as far as the 1500's, you might find him there if he was a vicar.
