The Oldest Surviving Record of a

Bundock in Essex, England

 

I found it.

 

In the book, The Medieval Essex Community:  The Lay Subsidy of 1327, ed. Jennifer C. Ward.

 

Drum roll, please.

 

 

John Bundock

spelled Johanne Bondok’

 

He’s living in the village of Saint Lawrence, Essex.

 

Because he’s paying taxes, he must be over 25 years old.  Probably older.  So, he must have been born in the late 13th Century (late 1200’s.)
