MORTIMER/MORTYMER NAMES IN DEVON – Research Tools. DEVON LAY SUBSIDY ROLLS 1581

MORTIMER, MORTYMER names here were extracted by me  for 1581, copied from listings by T.L. Stoate.

Some references also to local names of interest.  I noted any mention of GYE are due to possible family connections. Mortimer and Gye births appear in Exeter St. Sidwell IGI late 15th century, but were not listed there before this, i.e.in Tax rolls 1522-1542.  Perhaps Sandford/Crediton Mortimer farmers moved to Exeter, intent on getting into manufacturing of wool products. GYE were a connected family of influence, through marriage and one Robert, gent, was a Trustee in James Mortimer’s will 1558.  James is my “mystery” ancestor, perhaps the one born in Newton St. Cyres 1567 (IGI parish record).

In the 1581 Tax Subsidy the figures represent the £ assessment in Goods or Land.

Tax in goods was 1/- in the £, tax on land 1/4d in the £
