Biographical note

One of the hands is extremely illiterate, and is perhaps that of a William Kirbey, who has signed a receipt for payment of monies owing to him on 1/6/1707, which is found on the 12th unpaginated leaf from the end. 'K. Fitzgerald her Booke' is inscribed inside the upper cover. Kirbey has also written '1703. Kathrien Fitzgerald her Booke' on the verso of the last leaf.
