31 Endcliffe Rise Rd. Sheffield
3 Oct.
R.E.S. p. 422. {1} I think Marsh and Dunnington, however spelt in the will, must stand for March and Doddington. The other forms dont appear in the Gazetteer. One wd suppose that Peerson was native of March.
A. W. Reed is very kind to Merrill whose book is really a disgrace to scholarship in its textual inaccuracy. {2}
Notes & Queries has printed my article on Temples and Hammonds. {3}
