Lewkenore names
« on: Wednesday 03 August 22 17:17 BST (UK) »
Hi All,

I am having trouble reading some names from a chancery document C 1/330/38.

On the national archives site:

Short title: Lewkenour v Lewkenour.
Plaintiffs: John, Richard, John the younger, Agnes, Joan, Eleanor, and Anne, children of Richard Lewkenour, deceased.
Defendants: John Lewkenour, clerk, John Erneley, the elder and the younger, John Apesley, and Thomas Thetcher, feoffees to uses.
Subject: Rent charged on the manor of Sheffeld (Annexed is an interpleader by Roger Lewkenour, eldest son of the said Richard.) Decree endorsed 6 May, 21 Henry VII. Sussex.

In he original document attached I can see:
Johan Lewkenore,  ? Lewkenore, Johan Lewkenore (again), Agnes Lewkenore, ? Lewkenore, ? Lewkenore and ? Lewkenore.

Can anyone read the first names? They don't seem to correspond to the Nat Arch site.

Thanks in advance,

Gigi

The extract posted is written in Latin, and the names are in their Latin forms, spelt according to the position of each in the sentence. They do match the names given in the TNA catalogue entry.

Joh(ann)em = John
Ric(ardu)m = Richard
Agnet(em) = Agnes
Johannam = Joan
Alianoram = Eleanor
Annam = Ann
