16 was in the same ownership as 105/16 when by 1271 and by 1278 land belonging to Richard le Potyr adjoined both the N. and E. sides of 17-18. In 1309, 1319, and 1326, the tenement on the N. side of 17 was said to belong to Richard atte Roche, who may have been tenant rather than landlord of the property, or alternatively may have been identical with one of the men with the same forename who owned 16 and 105/16. In 1324 and 1330 this tenement belonged to Richard de Betoigne (Footnote 3) and thereafter passed through the same succession of owners as 105/16.(q.v.).

The church attracted other endowments. A parishioner who died in 1328 left the money from the sale of one of his properties (95/2), should that come about, for the endowment of a chantry there. Henry atte Roche, who probably lived near the church within the precinct of St. Thomas of Acre, at his death in 1348-9 left rent in St. Ethelburga's parish for the endowment of his chantry. In 1532 Robert Brocket left rent in Houndsditch to augment this chantry and to maintain his own obit. The chantry of Brocket and atte Roche was the only one being celebrated in the church in 1548.

In 1336 6 was a shop with solars built above which John atte Welhous, ironmonger and citizen, and his wife Agnes granted to Henry atte Roche, citizen and chandler (unctarius). In 1358 atte Roche's former tenement here belonged to William Gregori and his wife Idonia, who in 1365 were named as owners of the little shop here. The property appears to have descended with others in various parts of the city from Henry atte Roche to his daughter Marion and from her to her son, Henry atte Mersh. Henry atte Mersh granted properties in several parishes, including St. Martin Pomary, to Richard Fohoun and Henry Yeveley, citizen(s), who in 1361 granted them in free marriage to Henry atte Mersh and his wife Idonia and their legitimate heirs, with remainder to Henry's right heirs. There was probably a family relationship between Henry and/or his wife and William Gregori and/or his wife, but this cannot be determined. There were other interests in this group of properties, including 6, which had once belonged to Henry atte Roche and concerning which several trusts appear to have been set up. Thus Robert atte Broke, a smith of Lemynton (Suffolk), granted the properties to John Gullay and his wife Andrina, daughter and heir of Thomas Hendeman of Grene (Kent), who in 1368 quitclaimed in them to John Creyndon, fishmonger, Henry Yevele, mason, and Thomas de Mildenhale, all citizens. By 1380, when Maud Holbech was in possession of 6, Creyndon, Yevele, and de Mildenhale sold the properties to Maud and her then husband, Hugh Southern. Maud was later described as the widow of William Holbech, who died in 1365-7, and it is probable that Hugh was her second husband. In 1386 Idonia, widow of Henry atte Mersh and now widow of William de Croydon, quitclaimed to Maud Holbech in the properties which had once belonged to Henry atte Mersh. Soon after this quitclaim Henry Yevele bound himself to Maud Holbech and Stephen Spelman to the effect that neither he nor his brother, Richard Foun, would cause her any loss concerning the properties by suing on a recognisance made to them in Chancery by Henry atte Mersh. Maud died in 1392-3 and left these properties to Thomas son of William Occlyf, formerly citizen and draper, for the term of his life and then to be sold. In 1408 Thomas surrendered the properties to Maud's executors, who included Stephen Speleman and in 1415 sold 6 to Henry Halton, citizen and grocer. 6 was now described as a shop with solar(s) over measuring 10 1/2 ft. (3.2 m.) next to the street, 10 ft. (3.05 m.) at its W. end, 14 ft. 3 in. (4.34 m.) on its S. side and 14 ft. 2 in. (4.32 m.) on its N. side. (Footnote 4)

Holy Trinity Priory did not alienate the property on the corner of Ironmonger Lane. It may have been represented by 2 of the 5 shops listed in 1283, and both then and in 1292 it presumably included the shop of Walter de Waldegrave. There was one shop on the site, held by Henry atte Roche, chandler (candelar') in 1336, when John de Ewell of London quitclaimed to Holy Trinity Priory in the property. In 1384 the priory let the shop to John Salle, citizen and cutler, and his wife Margaret at £3 rent for life, the tenants being liable for repairs. John Salle died in 1407 and there is no later record of this shop. (Footnote 16)

IVYTON manor was held of Broomfield manor in 1283 and continued to be so held until 1790 or later, although suit and rent had probably been unpaid for many years and it was not recorded as a manor after 1662. (Footnote 77) Ivyton was held by Hugh de la Tour (d. 1283), possibly in succession to his brother Henry (d. by 1280). (Footnote 78) Hugh's son Thomas was succeeded by his son Hugh who died c. 1321 leaving a son William. (Footnote 79) William died in 1349 leaving a daughter Alice, wife of John Roche. Alice was dead by 1375 but had had a child. (Footnote 80) That child may have been Isabel, wife of John Haddecombe, who released her claim to Ivyton to John Roche in 1375 and again in 1390. (Footnote 81) Later in 1390 Roche gave Ivyton to John Luttrell who in 1392 assigned the rents to John Haddecombe and his wife Isabel for her life, and granted the estate in 1394 to Joan, Roche's second wife, by then married to Thomas Trowe of Plainsfield. In 1404 Richard Roche, son of John, quitclaimed Ivyton to Joan's feoffees. (Footnote 82) In 1429 John Luttrell gave the reversion after Joan's death to his kinsman Richard Luttrell; Joan was dead by 1439 when Richard took possession. (Footnote 83) Ivyton then descended with Over Vexford in Stogumber until 1570 when the manor was sold to William Lovel. (Footnote 84)

White et al. v. Baugh & Beale.
Upon reading the Petition and Appeal of Richard White, Francis Jenks Burlton, Vincent Wheeler and James Eysam Graham; complaining of an Order of the Court of Chancery, of the 9th of February 1831, made in a certain Cause wherein John Salwey, an Infant, by Job Walker Baugh, his next Friend, but who has since attained the Age of Twenty-one Years, was Plaintiff, and Elizabeth Salwey, Theophilus Richard Salwey, William Radclyffe, Richard Salwey, lately deceased, Theophilus Salwey, Philip Keating Roche, Robert Myddelton Biddulph and George Ridge were Defendants; and praying, "That the said Order may be reversed, or that the Appellants may have such Relief in the Premises, as to this House, in their Lordships great Wisdom, shall seem meet; and that the said Job Walker Baugh and Thomas Beale may be required to answer the said Appeal:"
It is Ordered, That the said Job Walker Baugh and Thomas Beale may have a Copy of the said Appeal, and do put in their Answer or respective Answers thereunto, in Writing, on or before Wednesday the 21st Day of this instant December; and Service of this Order upon Mr. Abel Jenkins of New Inn, the Agent in London of the said Respondents, shall be deemed good Service.

Roman catholicism.
The 1560s and 1570s were a period of intensive Catholic activity when many papists were presented for recusancy; the bailiffs, who were very intolerant of Catholicism, did their utmost to persuade the dissidents to conform. (Footnote 21) One very prominent Catholic was Richard Cousins who, in the 1550s, owned the White Hart inn in which Bishop Bonner's agents stayed. In 1562 Cousins was imprisoned in the moot hall for his papist activities. (Footnote 22) Named repeatedly in the indictments was Roche Green (d. 1602), whose son Richard (d. 1590) was ordained in Rome in 1582, (Footnote 23) and who, resisting earnest attempts to convert him, spent c. 20 years in prison, some of them in Colchester. (Footnote 24) Other Essex recusants were imprisoned in Colchester castle, some for long periods. (Footnote 25)

The deanery chapter met at Enmore in 1195 when Gocelin, chaplain of Enmore, was present. (Footnote 65) John of Drayton, rector in 1327, was described as worn out and a coadjutor was appointed. (Footnote 66) There was an anniversary chaplain in 1450. John Roche or Ryche, rector 1463-7, was a canon of Wells. (Footnote 67) There were both a rector and a stipendiary priest c. 1535, and the parish supported a fraternity, known as Our Lady's service or the brotherhood.

Another substantial lordship was that over 3 1/4 hides held in 1066 by men of the king's thegn Ulf, one sokeman having 1 1/4 hides to himself. By 1086 the estate had passed to Ulf's successor as lord at Fen Stanton, Gilbert of Ghent (Footnote 87) (d. c. 1095), whose heir was his son Walter (d. 1139). (Footnote 88) Henry I, having allegedly seduced Walter's sister, obliged him to assign Fen Stanton with its dependencies for her support. (Footnote 89) The Ghents never recovered even their tenancy in chief, although Walter's grandson Gilbert (d. 1242) repeatedly sued successive possessors of the manor between 1208 and 1231. (Footnote 90)
After Walter's sister's death Henry II assigned the manor, by 1161 at latest, to the Breton noble Roland de Dinan, (Footnote 91) who briefly forfeited it for rebellion in Brittany c. 1167-8. (Footnote 92) Roland, Henry's governor of Brittany c. 1175-8, died in 1184, having adopted as heir his nephew Alan de Dinan. (Footnote 93) Probably by 1194, however, the manor had been given to Drew de la Roche, (Footnote 94) whose widow Agnes held it as dower between 1201 (Footnote 95) and the mid 1220s. (Footnote 96) In 1225 Richard Marshal, later earl of Pembroke, who had married Alan de Dinan's daughter Gervaise, (Footnote 97) claimed the estate, and was granted its reversion; Agnes died in 1226. (Footnote 98) Following the earl's insurrection in 1233 (Footnote 99) Henry III gave the estate in 1234 to his justiciar Stephen de Segrave, who lost it when he fell from power later that year, and it was assigned to the king's sister, Joan, queen of Scotland. (Footnote 1) Segrave recovered it shortly after her death in 1237. (Footnote 2) He died in 1241 and his son and heir Gilbert, (Footnote 3) also a judge, in 1254. Gilbert's son Nicholas, of age in 1258, (Footnote 4) a Montfortian partisan, (Footnote 5) vigorously despoiled his west Cambridgeshire neighbours in the mid 1260s. (Footnote 6) Lord over 4¼ yardlands at Fen Drayton in 1279, (Footnote 7) he died in 1295. His son John, (Footnote 8) a leading commander in the Scots wars, (Footnote 9) and John's eldest son Stephen, who apparently occupied the family's Cambridgeshire lands, both died fighting in Gascony in 1325. Stephen's son John, (Footnote 10) of age in 1336, (Footnote 11) died in 1353, (Footnote 12) having married Margaret (d. 1399), daughter of his guardian Thomas, earl of Norfolk. (Footnote 13) Tenants at Fen Drayton owed rents to her in the 1370s. (Footnote 14)

All the 10 hides except Ramsey abbey's 3 yardlands were occupied in 1066 by c. 10 sokemen. Eight sokemen still possessed 6 1/4 hides in 1086 and 5 villani c. 1 hide, while only 2 3/4 hides were in demesne, only Ramsey's estate having any servi. There were also 8 bordars and 3 cottars. The limited arable, 5 ploughlands, for which only 2¾ teams were available, suggests that pasture was already important. (Footnote 81) In the 13th century Fen Drayton was still dominated by its resident freeholders, an attempt by Agnes de la Roche c. 1206 to claim more services from her sokemen having apparently failed.

The church attracted other endowments. A parishioner who died in 1328 left the money from the sale of one of his properties (95/2), should that come about, for the endowment of a chantry there. Henry atte Roche, who probably lived near the church within the precinct of St. Thomas of Acre, at his death in 1348-9 left rent in St. Ethelburga's parish for the endowment of his chantry. In 1532 Robert Brocket left rent in Houndsditch to augment this chantry and to maintain his own obit. The chantry of Brocket and atte Roche was the only one being celebrated in the church in 1548.

In 1336 6 was a shop with solars built above which John atte Welhous, ironmonger and citizen, and his wife Agnes granted to Henry atte Roche, citizen and chandler (unctarius). In 1358 atte Roche's former tenement here belonged to William Gregori and his wife Idonia, who in 1365 were named as owners of the little shop here. The property appears to have descended with others in various parts of the city from Henry atte Roche to his daughter Marion and from her to her son, Henry atte Mersh. Henry atte Mersh granted properties in several parishes, including St. Martin Pomary, to Richard Fohoun and Henry Yeveley, citizen(s), who in 1361 granted them in free marriage to Henry atte Mersh and his wife Idonia and their legitimate heirs, with remainder to Henry's right heirs. There was probably a family relationship between Henry and/or his wife and William Gregori and/or his wife, but this cannot be determined. There were other interests in this group of properties, including 6, which had once belonged to Henry atte Roche and concerning which several trusts appear to have been set up. Thus Robert atte Broke, a smith of Lemynton (Suffolk), granted the properties to John Gullay and his wife Andrina, daughter and heir of Thomas Hendeman of Grene (Kent), who in 1368 quitclaimed in them to John Creyndon, fishmonger, Henry Yevele, mason, and Thomas de Mildenhale, all citizens. By 1380, when Maud Holbech was in possession of 6, Creyndon, Yevele, and de Mildenhale sold the properties to Maud and her then husband, Hugh Southern. Maud was later described as the widow of William Holbech, who died in 1365-7, and it is probable that Hugh was her second husband. In 1386 Idonia, widow of Henry atte Mersh and now widow of William de Croydon, quitclaimed to Maud Holbech in the properties which had once belonged to Henry atte Mersh. Soon after this quitclaim Henry Yevele bound himself to Maud Holbech and Stephen Spelman to the effect that neither he nor his brother, Richard Foun, would cause her any loss concerning the properties by suing on a recognisance made to them in Chancery by Henry atte Mersh. Maud died in 1392-3 and left these properties to Thomas son of William Occlyf, formerly citizen and draper, for the term of his life and then to be sold. In 1408 Thomas surrendered the properties to Maud's executors, who included Stephen Speleman and in 1415 sold 6 to Henry Halton, citizen and grocer. 6 was now described as a shop with solar(s) over measuring 10 1/2 ft. (3.2 m.) next to the street, 10 ft. (3.05 m.) at its W. end, 14 ft. 3 in. (4.34 m.) on its S. side and 14 ft. 2 in. (4.32 m.) on its N. side. (Footnote 4)

Holy Trinity Priory did not alienate the property on the corner of Ironmonger Lane. It may have been represented by 2 of the 5 shops listed in 1283, and both then and in 1292 it presumably included the shop of Walter de Waldegrave. There was one shop on the site, held by Henry atte Roche, chandler (candelar') in 1336, when John de Ewell of London quitclaimed to Holy Trinity Priory in the property. In 1384 the priory let the shop to John Salle, citizen and cutler, and his wife Margaret at £3 rent for life, the tenants being liable for repairs. John Salle died in 1407 and there is no later record of this shop. (Footnote 16)

IVYTON manor was held of Broomfield manor in 1283 and continued to be so held until 1790 or later, although suit and rent had probably been unpaid for many years and it was not recorded as a manor after 1662. (Footnote 77) Ivyton was held by Hugh de la Tour (d. 1283), possibly in succession to his brother Henry (d. by 1280). (Footnote 78) Hugh's son Thomas was succeeded by his son Hugh who died c. 1321 leaving a son William. (Footnote 79) William died in 1349 leaving a daughter Alice, wife of John Roche. Alice was dead by 1375 but had had a child. (Footnote 80) That child may have been Isabel, wife of John Haddecombe, who released her claim to Ivyton to John Roche in 1375 and again in 1390. (Footnote 81) Later in 1390 Roche gave Ivyton to John Luttrell who in 1392 assigned the rents to John Haddecombe and his wife Isabel for her life, and granted the estate in 1394 to Joan, Roche's second wife, by then married to Thomas Trowe of Plainsfield. In 1404 Richard Roche, son of John, quitclaimed Ivyton to Joan's feoffees. (Footnote 82) In 1429 John Luttrell gave the reversion after Joan's death to his kinsman Richard Luttrell; Joan was dead by 1439 when Richard took possession. (Footnote 83) Ivyton then descended with Over Vexford in Stogumber until 1570 when the manor was sold to William Lovel. (Footnote 84)

Roman catholicism.
The 1560s and 1570s were a period of intensive Catholic activity when many papists were presented for recusancy; the bailiffs, who were very intolerant of Catholicism, did their utmost to persuade the dissidents to conform. (Footnote 21) One very prominent Catholic was Richard Cousins who, in the 1550s, owned the White Hart inn in which Bishop Bonner's agents stayed. In 1562 Cousins was imprisoned in the moot hall for his papist activities. (Footnote 22) Named repeatedly in the indictments was Roche Green (d. 1602), whose son Richard (d. 1590) was ordained in Rome in 1582, (Footnote 23) and who, resisting earnest attempts to convert him, spent c. 20 years in prison, some of them in Colchester. (Footnote 24) Other Essex recusants were imprisoned in Colchester castle, some for long periods. (Footnote 25)

The deanery chapter met at Enmore in 1195 when Gocelin, chaplain of Enmore, was present. (Footnote 65) John of Drayton, rector in 1327, was described as worn out and a coadjutor was appointed. (Footnote 66) There was an anniversary chaplain in 1450. John Roche or Ryche, rector 1463-7, was a canon of Wells. (Footnote 67) There were both a rector and a stipendiary priest c. 1535, and the parish supported a fraternity, known as Our Lady's service or the brotherhood.

Another substantial lordship was that over 3 1/4 hides held in 1066 by men of the king's thegn Ulf, one sokeman having 1 1/4 hides to himself. By 1086 the estate had passed to Ulf's successor as lord at Fen Stanton, Gilbert of Ghent (Footnote 87) (d. c. 1095), whose heir was his son Walter (d. 1139). (Footnote 88) Henry I, having allegedly seduced Walter's sister, obliged him to assign Fen Stanton with its dependencies for her support. (Footnote 89) The Ghents never recovered even their tenancy in chief, although Walter's grandson Gilbert (d. 1242) repeatedly sued successive possessors of the manor between 1208 and 1231. (Footnote 90)
After Walter's sister's death Henry II assigned the manor, by 1161 at latest, to the Breton noble Roland de Dinan, (Footnote 91) who briefly forfeited it for rebellion in Brittany c. 1167-8. (Footnote 92) Roland, Henry's governor of Brittany c. 1175-8, died in 1184, having adopted as heir his nephew Alan de Dinan. (Footnote 93) Probably by 1194, however, the manor had been given to Drew de la Roche, (Footnote 94) whose widow Agnes held it as dower between 1201 (Footnote 95) and the mid 1220s. (Footnote 96) In 1225 Richard Marshal, later earl of Pembroke, who had married Alan de Dinan's daughter Gervaise, (Footnote 97) claimed the estate, and was granted its reversion; Agnes died in 1226. (Footnote 98) Following the earl's insurrection in 1233 (Footnote 99) Henry III gave the estate in 1234 to his justiciar Stephen de Segrave, who lost it when he fell from power later that year, and it was assigned to the king's sister, Joan, queen of Scotland. (Footnote 1) Segrave recovered it shortly after her death in 1237. (Footnote 2) He died in 1241 and his son and heir Gilbert, (Footnote 3) also a judge, in 1254. Gilbert's son Nicholas, of age in 1258, (Footnote 4) a Montfortian partisan, (Footnote 5) vigorously despoiled his west Cambridgeshire neighbours in the mid 1260s. (Footnote 6) Lord over 4¼ yardlands at Fen Drayton in 1279, (Footnote 7) he died in 1295. His son John, (Footnote 8) a leading commander in the Scots wars, (Footnote 9) and John's eldest son Stephen, who apparently occupied the family's Cambridgeshire lands, both died fighting in Gascony in 1325. Stephen's son John, (Footnote 10) of age in 1336, (Footnote 11) died in 1353, (Footnote 12) having married Margaret (d. 1399), daughter of his guardian Thomas, earl of Norfolk. (Footnote 13) Tenants at Fen Drayton owed rents to her in the 1370s. (Footnote 14)

All the 10 hides except Ramsey abbey's 3 yardlands were occupied in 1066 by c. 10 sokemen. Eight sokemen still possessed 6 1/4 hides in 1086 and 5 villani c. 1 hide, while only 2 3/4 hides were in demesne, only Ramsey's estate having any servi. There were also 8 bordars and 3 cottars. The limited arable, 5 ploughlands, for which only 2¾ teams were available, suggests that pasture was already important. (Footnote 81) In the 13th century Fen Drayton was still dominated by its resident freeholders, an attempt by Agnes de la Roche c. 1206 to claim more services from her sokemen having apparently failed. (Footnote 82)

Web Sources for Military History
Prof. emer. R Jensen has compiled many history related sites at the Web Sources for Military History.
It deals mainly with American history; it does contain a few India related links.

Old Style and New Style Dates
I've encountered dates of the format 2nd March 1735/6 when reading through old documents. Now I know what it means! There's an article describing Old style and new style dates and changes to the Gregorian calendar.

Genes reunited
Heard some rave reviews of genes reunited so I registered myself to that site.
Will enter some family trees there. I can search for specific individuals (ancestors and current) on the site - these have been entered by members like me. So I can check if anyone is researching the same ancestor as I am.
Unfortunately they don't allow me to contact the other researcher until I cough out 7.5 pounds. So far I didn't find anyone researching the ROCHEs in India there, so don't plan to upgrade my membership.

Hi, I am researching the ROCHE family in India. I am especially interested in the family in Southern India, but am currently researching the family throughout the sub-continent. If you need information on the ROCHE family in India you may write to me; and if you have any information to share, I'll be glad to hear about it.
hopefully someone will notice!
