What is ridiculous is that a modern indexing system would seem to be

Sandford" without looking through 1300 pages that may or may not have
his name in that form.

What era was this? There is no one of that name (or anything remotely
similar) mentioned in either Domesday People or Domesday Descendants by
Katherine Keats-Rohan.

There is a Lyncombe Wood in Sandford in Somerset. See here:

The only entry for Lyncombe (etc), Somerset, in Domesday Book
(Hutchinson) is part of Bath.

I think that is the place I looked up tediously with a map system run
by the UKVillages.co.uk.

I think I am beyond my depth here, Walter's date is given as 1280 and
there are de Lyncombs in the Devonshire Lay Subsidy of 1332.

The name is made of three syllables and only shrinks to two
(apparently) when written down by someone else.

I feel there is a gap between 1332 and the 1560s that could only be
closed through old records. In 1565 there are Linthicums in
Warwickshire and Devon, a fair spread of distance.
