Notes

Raised around Stockport and Macclesfield. Note that by the time he received a commission from the Earl of Essex his regiment had been in existence for a year. An undated, but probably 1643 entry in Duckenfield's accounts (N.A. SP28/128/pt10) reads “pd for Armes to furnish my Irish Company and some cloaths for them 30-00-00”

Coats and Flags

At least some of Duckenfield's men were issued with “soldiers coats”
