Background - In response to a request of "The Honourable Society of the Inner Temple" London, England, I have received the following response today via snail mail from their Archivist. My request was generally to see if there were any records for COMBES and similarly sounding surnames and specifically if the John COMBE who graduated from Oxford University, brother to Archdale and William COMBE, and s/o John and Margaret ARCHDALE Combe of St. Mary the Virgin Aldermanbury, London, was the same who was in the Inner Temple records as indicated by Foster's Oxonienses….

In addition to the response by the Inner Temple Archivist, entries from the British Library Wolley Collection regarding the Inner Temple have also been included below. Each entry is dated with a synopsis. Document abstracts with further details are included at the web page of the specific shire the document appears to be centered upon. A link to those shires is included in the synopsis.
06 Jul 1507 Thomas COMBES admitted 6th July 1507 (Index of Admissions to the Inner Temple 1505-1750, Archivist, Inner Temple of London, who adds: "no biographical information given.")

bef 1609 Ady SARE (a.k.a. SAYER? AYERS?) had been admitted to the Inner Temple by 1609 when named in the will of his father-in-law, Thomas ARCHDALE of St. Antholins Budge Row, London.

According to Foster's Oxonians…, John COMBE of Trinity College, Oxford University (1619-1622), s/o John and Margaret ARCHDALE Combe of St. Mary the Virgin Aldermanbury, London, and John COMBE, s/o John COMBE of Edmonton, Middlesex, were one and the same.

"The Wolley charters range in date from the beginning of the thirteenth to the first half of the eighteenth centuries, but the majority date from the mid thirteenth to the late fourteenth centuries.
They are arranged in twelve series (i-xii).
Series i-iv and vi-x generally consist of medieval deeds, mostly relating to Derbyshire, but also including some relating to places in nearby counties such as Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire, Leicestershire and Cheshire.
Series v consists mainly of medieval deeds relating to locations north of Derbyshire, e.g. Yorkshire, and the towns of Berwick upon Tweed and Newcastle upon Tyne.
Series xi consists mostly of late sixteenth to early eighteenth century deeds, mainly relating to Derbyshire.
Series xii contains charters from the late fifteenth to the early eighteenth centuries, again mainly relating to Derbyshire. It includes several distinct collections, including one relating to a messuage in Cambridge, another to the family of Greaves of Youlgreave and their manor of Beeley, and an extensive collection for the Bradshaw family of Bradshaw in Derbyshire and of Marple in Cheshire.
The charters are mostly concerned with land transfers. In addition, there are some wills and marriage settlements, and a small number of other miscellaneous items, such as inventories for chantries, lists of freeholders and surveys of estates."
