Apologies for the quality - the original writing is very small (and the pink tinge!)

Any thoughts on his name?

I now think Dawe?

Peter,

Looking at the w in "thanswer" I wonder if it might not be Dawe but Dance?  Or possibly Davie, but there's no dot for the i as far as I can see.

Just suggestions, I wouldn't rule out Dawe.

Do you think the first bit could be "This is"

That's clever, Roger!  I'll have to remember that for future hunts.  Had never thought of checking in A2A.  Just shows how we learn new stuff all the time on RC.
Regards and respect!

Thanks for the kind words, Greensleeves, but it was a fluke really! I googled for "Christopher Dawe", and that's one of the things that came up.

Good to know that Google looks into the national archives catalogue, though.

Yes that's the document! I also note that if you go into the document details sometimes there are references to other documents. The 1402 French document I had says CPR p389 p422 at the bottom. I only noticed this after I found two further related entries after searching the Calendar of Patent Rolls. The penny finally dropped after I'd done it the hard way!
