    1572 May:
    'm Henry (60) Best de Haldesworth xxix'

    The introduction indicates that the "m" preceding the entry indicates that a mortuary was paid, suggesting something about the status of the person. The introduction also says that during this part of the register, "spasmodic attempts were made to record the ages of deceased persons", which is presumably what the 60 designates.
