Notes

fols 55-6: Churchwardens and overseers of the poor for Uxbridge petitioned the court that one Henry Cock and his wife had been sent to them from Beaconsfield under warrant of the JPs for Buckinghamshire. However, it transpired that Cock had been born in Beaconsfield and had served as a constable there before the Civil Wars. He had enlisted as a soldier at Uxbridge and served at the battle of Worcester. Thereafter, he went with his wife into Ireland, where they had remained until recently. It was ordered that the churchwardens and overseers of the poor for Uxbridge convey Henry Cock and his wife back to Beaconsfield, where the churchwardens and overseers for Beaconsfield were ordered to provide for them ‘as they doe for other impotent poore’.
