This file consists of names in lists that are not already posted elsewhere in this site under their own headings, e.g. tokenbooks, presentments, subsidies, etc. The lists offered here are occasionally whole, but often fragmentary, and the latter are almost always undated, and often lacking context. But such lists always have value. The text is modernised except for surnames. Items with dates are listed chronologically.
