The Common Room / Re: lukeis surname orgins
« on: Yesterday at 14:11 »
In the Wiltshire archives, there is a will of Robert Lucas, senior, of Sutton Veny, husbandman, 1639, with the note: Surname written Lukeis, but other Lucases reside in Sutton Veny.

There are other wills and inventories of Lucas in Sutton Veny:

1556 Alice Lucas

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help with Latin 13th Century Eyre

It could be Simone.

Here are the first couple lines:
The assize comes to determine if Adam Por(?) of Wymondham, brother of Henry the Chamberlayn and brother of Adam the Sumoner has unjustly disseised / dispossessed Robert of Tacoshale of his free tenement in Wymondham

Edit:
Yes, Simon de Hedersete, a lawyer and justice in East Anglia.

Po lo suo (ponit loco suo) is a standard phrase that means to have an attorney representing him in this case.

I think instead of St it may be Sr or Sir. Not sure about the Mone name.

It could have been Lukeys. Here are some examples from the court of Common Pleas in the 1400s:

1415 Lukeys, William, of Pokeswell, Dorset, husbandman
https://waalt.uh.edu/index.php/CP40/618:_K-Z

1430 Lukeys, Thomas, of Enwerne Mynstre, Dors, shepherd
http://aalt.law.uh.edu/Indices/CP40Indices/CP40no677/CP40no677Def.htm

1450 Lukeys, William, of Blandford Forum, Dorset, gentleman
http://aalt.law.uh.edu/Indices/CP40Indices/CP40no758/CP40no758Act.htm

Blandford Forum and Iwerne Minster are about 20 miles from Sutton Veny.

As for how Lukeys came about, I can't say for certain. Possible from Luke?
The surname Roberts is often rendered as Robertys, so this could be Lukes/Lukeys.

In The Buckinghamshire Posse Comitatus, 1798 (Bucks Record Society) there are these people named Beal in Penn, listed under Servants and labourers:

Thomas Beal
William Beal

pages 148-9

Edit:
This must be the same Dennis Beal:

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Re: Richard Neville, 2nd Lord Latimer's will, 1530

Yes, this would be 1530. Hilary term normally lasted about six weeks, from mid-January to the end of February. It had to end before the beginning of Lent, so if Easter was very early, Hilary term might only be about 3 weeks.

He was apparently still alive in Hilary term 1530, when his son was heir apparent.

In Common Pleas in that year the plaintiff was:
John Nevell, knight, son and heir apparent of Richard Nevell, knight, lord Latymer (dm de Latymer)
