In other rate documents the following alternative spellings have been seen which appear to refer to the same people/places:-
Froker/Faiker, Loms/Lones, Spurill/Spurrell
The quality of some of the Land Tax fiche is poor.
The entry for amounts to pay for the exonerated land should not have been filled in as there was nothing due.
