London and Middlesex / John Knyffe 1469!
« on: Wednesday 10 April 24 21:57 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am trying to find out about a man called John Knyf (Knyffe).
He was a cousin of Thomas Pymme of High Wycombe (& is mentioned in Thomas' 1505 will as deceased). John left Thomas property in Cripplegate without which Thomas left to his son.
I can find no mention of a John Knyf anywhere other than in the Court of Hustings where his will was proved 1469/70. I am not sure if it is the same John as neither Pymme or Cripplegate are mentioned.
In John's will he mentions the below properties:
"le Seven Sterres," within the Bar of West Smythfeld, and also his hostel called "Ie Ramme" in the parish of S. Sepulchre.
Does anyone know if there is a registry of old pubs please as perhaps I can find out more about him there.
I have searched for John Knyf (and various other spellings) and can't seem to find any records for him (I did find a Thomas Knyffe but don't know if they are connected.
Best wishes Emma.
