Hi Alexander
Many thanks for the information. This confirms other facts about the family and once again shows the name variations. I have tried to pronounce the surname but still have trouble with the ending as "g" and "d" sound quite different to me. Perhaps the accent at the time produced a sound which was a mixture of the two letters.
Thanks also for the information contained in the Protestation Returns. I don't have a copy of this publication but I do have copies of the Churchwarden Presentments for the years 1641 and 1642 which confirm Robert's church function. Interestingly, Robert's mark was a capital R rather than the more normal cross, on the various documents I have sighted over the years.
