What a stunning set

First mark entered 20th November 1711 as a smallworker, entered two furthur marks on the same register on the 27th july 1720, presumably from the same address Field Lane That is all l have maybe somebody else has more info, l could find nothing in "Heals" all info from" Grimwades"...
