-1588-90, George Roper churchwarden
-23 Jan 1589/90, Isabell wife of George Roper, bur. [Transcriptions report this as 23 Jan 1589/90; however the actual image on the Bishop's Transcript, the only surviving image, can be read as 23 Jun 1589. Considering the timing of the second marriage of George Roper, June would be a better fit.]

2. There is an IGI extracted record for the baptism Elizabeth Roper, d of William, at Bexley, Kent, England 14 October 1565. It is a close to London. If this is our William and Elizabeth, it would show a migration from London area, which was not uncommon.
3. Jack Cade's Rebellion of 1450: A Database of Names of those Receiving Pardons, taken from Calendar of Patent Rolls Henry VI 5 (1909) pp. 338-374 accessed from https://familysearch.org. This spreadsheet of about 3449 persons was created by Merton Historical Society in September 2014, and is accessible at http://www.mertonhistoricalsociety.org.uk/index.php?cat=morden&sec=!rebels

4. The following extraction was made from the "Index to the Kent Lay Subsidy Roll of 1334/5," by H.A. Hanley, B.A. and C.W. Chalklin, M.A., B. Litt <http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/Pub/KRV/18/7/313.htm> accessed 11 Feb 2016. From this index, the actual entries are found in "The Kent Lay Subsidy Roll of 1334/5," by the same authors <http://www.kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/Pub/KRV/18/3/058-172.htm> accessed 12 Feb 2016. The second document more fully explains the history of this Lay Subsity. This was a tax assessed on householders; however, it probably only represents about 50% of the householders since the poorer families were not assessed:
Ropere, Hen. le, 143 (Vill of Dertford [Dartford]); Rd., 125 (Hundred of Wrotham). Ros, Jn. de, 97 (Hundred of Tenham [Teynham]); Jn. le, 152 [Not found]; Rd. de, 155 (Hundred of Worthe [Worth]); Sim. le, 125 (Hundred of Wrotham); Thos. le, 117 (Hundred of Maydenestane [Maidenstone]); Wm., 153 (Hundred of Hean [Heane]).
