| Dr. Stephen W. Taylor B.A. Ph.D. Historical Research Consultant and Genealogist It is not: possible to state categorically that thetwo documents relate to the same person. The document of 1482mentioned John Brend senior while that of 1497 names JohnBrynde of Southmerston, husbandman, so they could be the sameperson but equally may not be! |
