  John Colemore, vicar choral, subchanter
  A vicar choral is a professional adult singer in a Cathedral choir, presumably sub-chanter sings the lower bass line.
  They are not in holy orders; the term "vicar" in this context simply means a deputy.
  Sonford Street is now Sandford Street, Lichfield - a continuation of 'Robestrette'; owned by his parents William and Matilda.
