[2] Rothwell parish registers (online at www.ancestry.com). John Nayler’s will names “Suzanna my wife”. John had evidently been married previously. His earlier wife may be either the Elizabeth, wife of John Nayler, buried at East Ardsley on 28 Aug 1604 or the Agnes, wife of John Nayler, who was buried there on 26 Dec 1604.

[3] Rothwell parish registers (online at www.ancestry.com). Her parents are not named in the baptism entry but John Clarebrough and Alice Rimington were married at Rothwell on 24 Jun 1571.

[5] The 1635 will of John Nayler mentions that the testator’s son James had children called Robert, George and John. He might be the James Nayler who had sons of those names baptised at Darfield in 1627, 1628 and 1634/35. The father’s residence is given at these baptisms as Ardsley although this would presumably be the Ardsley in the parish of Darfield rather than East Ardsley.
