2. Elizabeth inherits life rights to the Alveley estate and is called in 1534 to formalize her claim.

3. William is also called in 1534 to notify him that he will inherit when his mother dies.

4. Robert is called in to clear up some ownership issues regarding his father Richard the acquirer and his and Roger's common grandfather William of Ludlow, likely previous owner of the land.
