William Albrighton, Feet of Fines
Here's one for your early records. It relates to an early exchange of land involving a William Albrighton in 1419/1420, appearing in Warwickshire Feet of Fines.
In the book Albritton's of the 2nd millenium, a William Albrighton is listed as born about 1355 and dying abt 1425. If this is he then as you will see it gives his place of abode and wifes name. Of course this could be his son or some other Albrighton.
