| In 1486, the Earl of Bottomditch had a census taken of his fiefdom, which
encompassed the village of Lower Snivelly. Interestingly, each of the six
village craftsmen recorded in the book had a last name that originally derived
from the trade one of his fellows was practicing in 1486. Given the
following information taken from the Earl's census, can you find each
Lower Snivelly craftsman's full name (one first name was Baldwin) and craft?
- Jack, who wasn't Mr. Thatcher, wasn't the local chandler.
- Roger, who was the village goldsmith, and Mr. Tanner had shops on
High St.
- Neither Mr. Miller nor Mr. Cooper was Tom.
- Jack, Tanner, and the thatcher were all named in the census as
former soldiers in the Earl of Bottomditch's army.
- Mr. Goldsmith, who wasn't Tom, was the village chandler.
- Will and Mr. Cooper, who wasn't the tanner, were noted in the book
for having paid fines for various misdeeds.
- Simon Chandler was listed as having had a grievance against the
thatcher for a shoddy roofing job.
- Tom wasn't the Lower Snivelly cooper.
- No man's surname and trade was another's trade and surname.
