William and Robert Selby of Grindon
« on: Tuesday 26 December 23 04:10 GMT (UK) »
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and looking forward to a Happy New Year!

Would you please be able to translate the second part of this clip that is in latin which pertains to William and Robert Selby of Grindon? Is there any indication of what year this is in?

Thanks, Gerelle Lovegrove.

William Selby freely holds in the same place certain lands and tenements in the open fields, for homage, fealty and suit of the court of Norham, and for foreign service, and he pays each year, equally at the four aforesaid terms of the year, 3 pounds.
Robert Selby holds at the will of the Lady Queen half the vill of Grindon, with half of all the lands, meadows and pastures in the same vill, and he pays each year, at the terms of Martinmas and Pentecost in equal portions, 3 pounds 16 shillings
Total for free holdings – 3 pounds
[Total] at will – 3 pounds 16 shillings
[Total] – 6 pounds 16 shillings

There’s no indication of the year, but perhaps Elizabeth I (1558-1603)? It looks like a published edition of a manorial survey, so perhaps try searching for any such survey of Norham between those dates?

Thank you as always. The William Selby mentioned is most likely the son of John Selby of Grindon and who married Agnes Selby, daughter of John Selby of Twisell. The Robert Selby is possibly the curate of Norham who was brother to Gerard Selby of Pawston and William Selby of Branxton and who died in 1565/6.
