Records for Tatterford are missing for this particular year, but this birth year shows previous dates in 1587 were confusing Michael with his brother Nicholas.

    Claims a parish record at Tatterford "Michael Metcalf filius Leonardi Metcalf et bapt fuit 17th died June 1587", but this has been refuted by later researchersS6S7, because the original parish registers are spotty and parts have been reconstructed from other sources.
