Note: This is likely a family transaction, which is why most of the surnames are left off. I would propose here that means most of the folks are “le Taillours” and others are followers from Shropshire, so:
1. John the Tailor, is this John, the son of Adam, the son of Henry. He is repeated in the witness list just to identify Richard.
2. Matilda is the mother of Adam and wife of Henry.
3. Agnes is the wife of Adam, and her father is Henry son of Bymme of Maudesley.
4. Richard is the brother of John le Taillour.
5. and by special apperance, we’ve seen and identified John son of Hugh before as “Hotchkiss”, which would make Roger his brother the first actual recorded user of “Hotchkiss” as a surname.
6. Lord John the Flemmying, was previously known as Sir John Fleming [~1275].
7. The Banastres married into the Heskeths.
8. Richard of Kyrkham, clerk could either be a le Clerk related to William le Clerk, le Personnes, or the actual clerk recording this document.
9. That leave us with ony John Germayn not identified.
