When the identification comes from the person's occurrence in other documents or in other Domesday counties, this is shown in the translatio n between asterisks within square brackets. Where there is no documentary evidence for the identity of an individual, but it seems likely that a number of persons with the same first name are one and the same, this has been indicated in the translation by putting the name of one of the estates held by that person between < >. In this county the notes to justify both these forms of identification have largely been written by John Palmer and these have been attributed to him as (JP) put at the end of his par agraph. \par {\listtext\pard\plain\f3\cf1\lang2057\langfe1033\langnp2057\insrsid13257244 \loch\af3\dbch\af0\hich\f3 \'b7\tab}}\pard \ql \fi-360\li720\ri6\nowidctlpar\tx284\jclisttab\tx720\tx8460\tx8640\faauto\ls1\rin6\lin720\itap0\pararsid13257244 \cbpat8 { \cf1\insrsid13257244 Obvious typographical errors in the Phillimore printed notes have been corrected. \par }\pard \ql \li360\ri6\nowidctlpar\tx284\tx8460\tx8640\faauto\rin6\lin360\itap0\pararsid13257244 \cbpat8 {\cf1\insrsid13257244 \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri-7\nowidctlpar\tx284\tx9639\faauto\rin-7\lin0\itap0\pararsid13257244 \cbpat8 {\cf1\insrsid13257244 All the notes in the Phillimore printed edition are attributed here to Ph ilip Morgan (PM), although he, like the other editors, incorporated in his edition a body of standard notes, mostly written by John Morris.
