In The Complete Peerage volume XI Page 334. The title of Barons of Saint John of Bletso starts with John St.John, of the same, by his 1st wife, Margaret Waldegrave, etc. He married (1) Agnes Fisher and (2) Elizabeth Chamber.

Burke's Peerage, 1999, page 2515, we have Sir John St.John, of Bletso, married to Margaret Waldegrave, but their son and heir is called Oliver St.John, 1st Baron Saint John, of Bletso, married (1) Agnes Fisher and (2) Elizabeth Chamber.

CP Volume XIV starts St.John of Bletso on page 340 of CP XI, which implies it still adheres to John, not Oliver.

It must be the same person, but what is his first name? John or Oliver?
Many thanks.

The layout is designed to confuse! CP in fact says it is Oliver, son of
John and Margaret Waldegrave. Start at the foot of the preceding page,
333.

With apologies for this blunder :-( I missed one line from the previous
page. I should have realised as the CP entry started (without the previous
page entry) rather peculiar.
Chris Phillips steered me into the correct direction. Many thanks for that.
