Nearly all the abbreviations have been identified by Spencer Hines and Jim
Robinson.

Of the three remaining:

(i) EYC will certainly be 'Early Yorkshire Charters', various editors,
published in a number of volumes from 1914 onwards.

(ii) 'Banks' is perhaps T.C.Banks's 'Dormant and Extinct Peerage' (1812)?

(iii) Not sure about 'Weaver'; if it was spelled 'Weever' it would be John
Weever's 'Ancient Funerall Monuments', published originally in 1631, but
still indispensable for a lot of monuments that have since vanished. But
perhaps there's another more recent 'Weaver'?
