Re: John Steane and Christian Kinley

it's your lucky day - spotted in 1643 comp book (a recommended read for all!) p57 John Stephan for 3 parts [ie 3/4] of a qtr rent 7s 6d for the lives of the said John and Jo and Jane his chidren fine 32s 6d which he paid in Oct 1645 - the rents still dont quite tie up (you normally find accuracy to nearest 0.5d) but 5s 1.5d + 2s 8d are close and sure same person
