Just looking at some 'odds & ends' and wondered about Elizabeth 'Johannet' on BCC here:

Is this a latinised form of Jones??
Probably doesn't help find exactly who she is, but it might be worth a look in the Rowley Regis parish registers, which I dont have handy.

That's the one. Just wondered if, as I said, the surname is a form of Jones? Does the vicar at the time use this for other Jones's?

Looks like a Huguenot surname. There were Johannots involved in the paper-making industry after they came to England as religious refugees.

There certainly seem very few of them, so this marriage looks very likely.
I think a marriage lookup is needed to see if it gives other place of origin - there is a William bapt around the right time in Worcs on IGI, and the name Mapp also does not seem that common.

add it to look ups if you like sp1 not sure when it will be done.

Do you need any more on this for the moment?
