Hi Peter.

That was the thesis by Alan McFarlane which was "Witchcraft in Tudor and
Stuart Essex" he also wrote a book "Witchcraft in Tudor and Stuart England".
I have both of these texts as they were part of one of my units for my
Bachelor of Arts degree, and you are right, they discuss everything else but
actual people. He does discuss the more famous Essex 'witches'.

I am actually just after information on my Joan PLAYLE from Great Waltham.

Thanks again.
