| [W. B. B.] On 30th November, 1857 [1657], appears the birth of "John Ollive son of George Ollive and of Ann his wife" (no doubt the "G A O" of the token), "and of a son William on 7th September, 1669." On 16th December, 1685, occurs the burial of "Ann Oileffe wife of George Oleffe." The name of George Olive existed for some time in the town, as we find that the mayor of the borough for the year 1778 bore that name. |

| There are one or two entries in the register relating to the name of Oliver, one of which records the burial of "Richard Oliver, a child," on 5th May, 1671, possibly a child of the issuer of the token. The name still exists in the town. |
