[23 H. 6] beeing before his promotion to that See Arch Deacon 
there and lay at Rotheram in the same county, had two sisters. 
The one of them, then hee beeing Archdeacon, maried he unto 
one Mr. John Parker of Bulwell in com. Nottingham, esq®, 
which Parker had by hir diverse children, and was of a C" land 
by the yeare or thereabouts. . .. . Memorand. that the afore- 
said John Parker had a sister whose name was Elizabeth and was 
maried to one Thomas More of Grenhill in com. Darby, grand- 
father to Christopher More, that is to say, son of John More 
son to the aforesaid Thomas More.”

* William Booth was Archbishop of York (previously he had been Bishop 
of Lichfield and Coventry) 1452-1464. His name does not occur in the list
