In 1347 a ‘William Ryvel of Bukkeby’ is named in an ‘Oyer and terminer’ that also refers to ‘John ' William baillyf Ryvel' of Bukkeby’, available at http://sdrc.lib.uiowa.edu/patentrolls/e3v7/body/Edward3vol7page0468.pdf as follows:

‘Commission of oyer and terminer to Roger Hillary, Thomas de Bukton, Henry de Grene and Nicholas de Vieleston, on complaint by Joan late the wife of Ralph Basset of Drayton that William Ryvel of Bukkeby, John ' Williambaillyf Ryvel' of Bukkeby, Thomas Waleys, John de Shelton, Henry Bussel, William Shephurd, John Mody and others broke her close at Bukkeby and entered her free chace there, hunted in the chace, and fished in her stews there, carried away fish therefrom with other of her goods as well as hares, rabbits, partridges and pheasants from the warren and assaulted her servant, Nicholas le Waryner, whereby she lost his service for a great time. By fine of 1 mark paid to the clerk of the hanaper. Northampton’.

Can anyone suggest wht exactly is the significance of the rather strange phrasing "John ' Williambaillyf Ryvel'"? Is it implying that John Revell is William revell's bailiff or is just a case that the original document had been corrected, with some text inserted?

This William Revell was born in the period 1305 to 1325 and he does have a son John Revell, but John was not born until about 1345 to 1347. William revell's cousin John Revell is probably a better candidate.
