Notes

Note 1

!Note: Margaret, wife of Henry Hotchkiss / Hopkyns of Lambeth, may be the same individual later referred to as “Margery Rotherford”, niece and principal legatee in the 1516 will of Richard Brandon, hosier of Bermondsey. The will also names John Hopkyns, baker—confirmed as Henry’s brother—as executor. While the will refers to her by a different or possibly earlier surname , the convergence of names, dates, and roles strongly suggests that Margaret and Margery were the same person. This implies a likely family alliance between the Brandon, Rotherford, and Hotchkiss households operating within the Lambeth–Bermondsey merchant community.
