For his will, which mentions his brother Tobias (CCEd ID 42696), see Norfolk Record Office, NCC will register Gente 103 (information we owe to Hilary Nutt, 27 August 2015).
Probably the same as William Batho, curate of Streatham in 1592 (CCEd ID 33796).
Venn missed the fact that there were two contemporaries called William Batho and the other (CCEd ID 171068) was Rector of South Cove (information we owe to Hilary Nutt, 27 August 2015).
