Notes

Edward Overing was buried at Winslow on 21 Nov 1573. He married Margaret Norman there on 8 July 1561. Nicholas Overinge was baptised at Winslow on 26 April 1565, and Margaret was buried on 7 Sep 1565. Edward then married Mavis Brassed on 29 Nov 1565.

suckinge: the reading of this is very uncertain (yearling?) but as the calf is listed with the poultry it must have been reared by hand in the farmyard.
