1777 cession Dingley below may belong to his father ID 110246 as it isn't absolutely clear that he died in 1775, it could have been 1777; but left here as it is also possible that the son ceded and was re-instituted at Dingley at times when he was appointed elsewhere although he had a dispensation to hold several benefices in 1790.
