It mentions

I know we have had a discussion about Quire Numbers before.

Here you are:

It does appear to be indexed as Hawkins.

The Spurway Quire Numbers on Ancestry only go as far as 374.

Phoenix, you are a genius! I couldn't find it. The search didn't bring it up at all. I'm not sure how you found it!

Only difference is that NA, inexplicably, have chosen to date it New Style.

Found it by finding the next will and working backwards. (When I think of the old days, when you got the microfilm, and then scrolled through, hoping you'd got the numbering right, this is easy-peasy)

Is the Ancestry search still playing up? Perhaps that's why I couldn't find it. I tried every way I could to find it.

Could well be. I've done searched for Johns born in Surrey and got zero results.
