Hi, I'm looking for help with information about the William Clayborne listed in the document quoted below as holding the tenure of two tenements in Lenn Regis during the reign of Edward VI, which would be 1547-1553.
The document was found at the google books source cited below.
I took the liberty to add a few spaces and asterisks into the quoted text around the Clayborne data, since I personally find it difficult to visually track dense lists crammed into paragraph format like that.
I'm curious about whether the William Clayborne in the quote below is among the family of the two Thomas Claybornes who were aldermen and mayors in King's Lynn during the same century.
I simply can't find anything else about him, not even what sort of use he had for the tenements, whether business or residence.
Sooo... if anyone has any information to share about this particular William Clayborne, I would be grateful to hear about it.
Thanks for reading my posting.
