[2]Opinions about the identity of some of the founders

Wawne 4/4 (1632) is (I think) consistently shown as John Conyers: - GAD NBR York Dio - GAD ER Yorks p188 - GAD ER Yorks p209

Wawne 3/4 (1638) is rather less consistent: - GAD NBR York Dio (Abraham Smith) - GAD ER Yorks p188 (William Oldfield - generic) - GAD Sheffield p141 (William I Oldfield)

For an introduction to the issues over William Oldfield confusion, try: - GAD Sheffield p118 - GAD ER Yorks p253 - GAD Bradford p142 - Ketteringham Lincs p285 - Greenwood Wakefield p171
