William Barnes Senior/Elder (1545-1621) He is referred to as William BARNES Senior in the heading listing the customary tenants but actually recorded as William BARNES the Elder against the actual plot. See 1607 Survey for confirmation the the plot was peviously owned by Christian his mother the relict of John BARNES his father. His wife Marie was buried FStG 11 January 1587/8 William was buried FStG 30 Jan 1621/22.

 Richard Bartlet was the son of Robert Bartlet (died 1579, see Mike Russell's will transcript). He held the same cottage in the 1615 Survey of the Manor, when he was still paying 9d in rent.  Richard Bartlett buried FStG 9 September 1620

He is listed in the 1615 Survey of Fordington Manor holding the same whole place and a half place. His age in 1615 is given as 52, ie born 1563.  Mike Russell notes RB was under the age of 24 when RB's father Robert Bartlet wrote his Will in 1579 .
Willm  Bascombe Jun by copie grannted xxviij Rne [~1582/3]  F one ffarthing holde   Rent @ xijs  worth clare p Ann @ iijl vjs viijd   A burial for William Bascombe junior has not yet been located (note:- burial registers missing 1600-1602 inc + 1609-1613 inc) This farthinghold is in possession of Thomas Botescomb, age 42 in the 1615 Survey of the Manor. We know this because the rent for this plot is the same in both Surveys - 12s - and the rent for the plot held by William Bascombe senior of 13s 6d matches the rent paid by Agnes Botscombe in the 1615 Survey. 
Willm  Bascombe Sen  by copie grannted xvj Rne [~1584/5]  F one ffarthing holde Rent @ xiijs vjd  worth clare p Ann  @ iijl vjs viijd   William Bascombe the elder was buried FStG 29 November 1614. This farthinghold is in possession of Agnes Botscombe, age 60 in the 1615 Survey of the Manor. This suggests Agnes was William Bascombe's widow.
Willm  Belman  by copie grannted xxxvj yeares past [ ~ 1564]  C one cottage //lately built upon the wast rent @ xijd  worth clare p Ann @ ijs   William Belman still held the cottage in the 1615 Survey of the Manor; he was buried FStG 6 March 1622/23
Robert  Bun   by copye grannted //about xxty yeres past [~ 1580] H one halfe place  Rent @ xiijs iiijd worth clare p Ann @ vjl   Robert Bun still holds this half place in the 1615 Survey of the manor, which gives his age in 1615 as 57 (b.1558). Robert was buried at FStG 30 Sept 1639. His will transcribed by Mike Russell reveals that he married Edith and they had eight of their nine children alive at the time of Robert's death.
 John  Bun   by  //copye dated xij Rne [~1569/70] C one cottage Rent @ vd worth clare p Ann vjs viijd  John Bun still held the cottage in 1615 Survey of the Manor, which gives his age as 45, ie, born 1570. And his rent has increased by 1 pence to sixpence. This is probably  John Bun sen buried FStG 12 August 1623 (there is another John Bun tenant in 1615 born 1575 who holds a tenement & farthinghold plot )

William Byrd or Berd still held the whole place in the 1615 Survey of the manor recorded his age as 60, ie born 1555. Possibly buried as illegible Bird sen at DHT Sep 1643 which would make his age 88. Married Thomasin Palmer HT 6th Jan 1577. Although he married and was buried at DHT, Wm Bird was churchwarden at FStG for many years in 1594, 1606-1608.

Mike Russell's transcription of the will of Harry Chownte who died between July 1583 and may 1584 shows Harry Chownte's wife was Xpian (Christian) and he had a son Thomas Chounte, so Vvian in this 1600 Survey is probably Xpian.
Willm  Clowter   by copie dated xxiij Rne [~1580/1] C one cottage  Rent @ ijs jd  worth clare p Ann @ vjs viijd    William Clowter (1555 - ) still held this cottage in the 1615 Survey of the Manor when he was then aged 60.

Possibly the son of John and Jone Cosens, born after 1551 since he was under 21 when father John Cozens died - see his Will 15 March 1571 transcribed by Mike Russell. Buried 10 April 1604 FStG.  Will dated 6th Apr 1604  also transcribed by Mike Russell. OR could he be the son of William Cosens the elder who died 1589, the register for that year is missing but see his will dated 3rd Mar 1586/7 transcribed by Mike Russell

Not sure who Elizabeth Jolif is - not yet located in DHT, DAS, DStP or FStG registers. Not among tenants in the 1615 Survey of Fordington manor. 

[Note:- Added by Mike Russell OPC:- The Will of Henry JOLIFFE of Fordington dated 13 Nov 1579 refers to "my right, claim and interest in the reversement of one copyhold now in the tenure and occupation of one [Blank space ] wrxpen?" which he bequeaths to his two sons Henry & Walter Joliffe. This grant must have been surrendered. and was probably for a standard 25 acre plot and tenement for 3 lives. By 1579 he is referring to a reversement right suggesting that at least 1 life remained. I think this was surrendered in exchange of a life long right to a cottage for Elizabeth c1585.

Unfortunately Robert was dead by 1602 and both elizabeth and her son Roger died in 1607 so this plot descended to their 4th son Hamnet White (c1569-1633/4)]
