The second name could be John Mandeville. He is listed in Hardiman (1820), 225-6 as being sheriff in the years 1749, 1753 and 1761. A Henry Ellis (who was sheriff in 1731, 1735 and 1736 and mayor in 1739 and 1763) may be connected with the latter surname. (See Hardiman ibid. 226 and Hely Dutton (1824), 311, 312 and 315).
