John's Bondsman was Edward Feaks, a Miller, who was probably a close relative (brother, father or cousin) and an Edward Feaks, Miller died at Swaffham Prior in 1781, however another Edward Feaks of Swaffham Prior was buried at Swaffham Bulbeck in 1780. No ages were given in the Bishop's Transcripts but likely to be Edward Feaks or his father Edward Feaks
