Comments next to a name are from a Family Tree Scroll which
was discovered in a Car Boot Sale in 2007.
The names on the scroll were tracked down by the purchaser
and it was kindly sent to me. This led back many centuries and
was a valuable find.
From the scroll and what I have since found - died - means died infant.
