Biography
(Needs Rewrite with corrections refactored)
Roger de Gostwick is but a tiny thread of evidence surrounded by contextual information. The subsidy lists, up until recently, could hardly be considered more informational than a witness signature on a will, maybe less so, with snipit transcriptions in poor context the best you could find without great effort.
The 1332 Bedfordshire Subsidy list transcription from 1925 is now avail at Hathitrust in it's full form, giving enough info to survey tax totals to estimate landholdings.

Research Notes
This generation is tricky, and there were mistakes in my work pertaining to the separation of the 1309 & 1322 subsidy tax rolls of Beds. My earliest work was quite lazy in this area, leveraging Finberg's suggestions and making do with a guess at which references he was citing. They werent very clear. This has been corrected, with expansion and now cites the correct reference.
Finberg seems to have skipped a full accounting of at least the two 1309 entries or perhaps I didnt understand his arguments, logic or vague citation.
Regardless, we have a Roger AND a Robert in 1309. I found my worksheets had erroneously cited the 1309 ref for Roger as if it were 1332, the Robert entry for 1309. I suspect I used those nasty 'Tidbit views' that books with limited licensing use. Grrr.
A quick look at a query and the records from 1309 fall squarely on this Roger's grandfather Roger de Gostwyk (1250-1315), who migrated to Cople abt 1270.
The relevant records for this generation are 1332.
- Richard taxed at 22 1/2d
- Roger taxed at 12 3/4d
- Robert taxed in 'Colmorde/Colmworth' at 2s 5d
the split seems in odd increments, like 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8 of the estate, for siblings.
To Do
-
Transcribe all the 1309/1322 Subsidy citations by hand, dont use the index, then revisit everyone alive in that date range with a query. -
Create a Research Page for this Roger's grand-dad Roger, so we can reference the conflation and keep things straight.
