Genealogical Notes:-

(1). Unfortunately most of the burials record for Fordington for the year 1679 are missing so we do not have his burial. Also as an inventory was drawn up this was probably associated with a Letter of Administration suggesting that he died intestate. This also however does not seem to have survived so we do not know who was granted administration of his estate.

(2). An Ambrose Hunt of Fordington left a Will in 1681 which has still to be transcribed (Feb 2011)
