Dear Jim, No, I do not "have any suggestions as to how Wasson made the one identification over the other," but I shall ask Professor Wasson when I go home tonight to cook his dinner. Lionel, Lord Welles, his first wife, Lady Cecily Waterton Welles, her Waterton forebears, and the Welles daughters are buried or commemorated in Methley's Church of St. Oswald, a few miles east of where you are in Leeds. On surface it seems unlikely that the Yorkshire Welles' minstrels were in King's Lynn; the West Riding records, to the best of my memory at present, did not yield any evidence that Lionel, Lord Welles had household minstrels but I'll check tonight to make sure. All best, Barbara D. Palmer Mary Washington College [log in to unmask]
