[1] East Ardsley bishop’s transcripts (online at www.findmypast.co.uk); will dated 27 Jun 1602, proved 8 Jul 1602 (Borthwick Institute). One of the witnesses to George’s will was “his brother” John Nailer, and a George Nailer and a Lionell Nailer were also witnesses. A Lionel Nayler matriculated at the University of Cambridge in 1571 and was later schoolmaster at Pontefract: J. Venn and J.A.

[2] A fine of 1589 relating to property in Ardsley and Wakefield had George Nayler and Jenetta his wife as parties: Feet of Fines of the Tudor Period, part 3 (1889), 109. A George Nayler and Jennet Browne were married at Royston in 1584 but that might be the George Nayler buried at Royston in 1587. The 1604 will of Isabel Nayler of East Ardsley includes “Jennett Nailer my mother” as a legatee.

[11] 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.
