1545 Commissary Court of London. Robert COMBES, citizen & leathers., St. Stephen, Thorpe by Waynfleete, etc., Lincs. (O.W. 1545, Register 11, Folio 164) (Combs &c. English Estate Records)This record does not specify if this is St. Stephen Walbrook or St. Stephen Coleman St. Considering the presence of Ellis COMBE in St. Stephen Coleman St., and the given name Robert amongst the families of Ellis and John COMBE (h/o Margaret ARCHDALE), this record may be significant. Thorpe St. Peter is less than a mile from Wainfleet in Lincolnshire.
