1738 5 July Thos. Gannicliff was on the Parish Council. "His signature is on the accounts - not illiterate or anything like" (see scanned image - Joan Varey History Notes) Also 4 August 1748, and 1753 and 1754...

And does this record pertain to him? This refers to the renting of Pews in the Chapel in St Aubin St, in the port (part of the parish of Stoke Damerel).
