There are good resources available online for Essex going back to the 15th century at least. You haven't mentioned what original sources you have used, but the best place to start is the Medieval English Genealogy site (with resources up to about 1600):
http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/sources/olmed.shtml

Essex Archives will be very useful:
https://www.essexarchivesonline.co.uk/

This has the 1483 will of Richard Haddok senior of Leigh. (Unfortunately not available online.)
https://www.essexarchivesonline.co.uk/result_details.aspx?ThisRecordsOffSet=2&id=1059383

Also a search for Common Pleas and Kings/Queens Bench records:
https://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/aalt/cp40_search.php

You can use wildcards, for example Had*o*k, to find spellings like Hadok, Hadock, etc. They are as far away as Northumberland, but also several in Leigh on Sea:

I suppose muskelman must be about mussels rather than muscles.

Per licenciam specialem, or By special licence. I think this would be required if people were getting married outside of their home parish.

Either Jacob or James could be the English translation of Jacques.

Google translate works fairly well:

Quittance de Jacques de VOULDY, écuyer, maître d'Hôtel du Roi, à Ysabeau de SALVIATY, dame de TALCY, absente, par les mains de Pierre ELLAIN, avocat en Parlement, pour le rachat d'une rente provenant de Jacques de ROFFIGNAC, chevalier, sieur de MALSAC, et Ysabeau de SARDINY, dame de TALCY, veuve de Ferias de SALVIATY, chevalier, seigneur dudit TALCY, et autres.

Below you can search the French National Archives. There are quite many hits for ROFFIGNAC or ROUFFIGNAC, for example Jacques de ROFFIGNAC, chevalier, sieur de MALSAC (or Marzac).

Here are two later records. Is Jacob the son of Thomas? The will might have references to places or cousins in France. PCC wills are available from TNA for free when you sign in (also free).

Down / Re: Seeking info: McKee
« on: Monday 02 June 25 17:53 BST (UK)  »
Father:Thomas McKee. We Reside in Greenock, Scotland.

Hello Keri.
My mother's maiden name was McKee. She was born in Glasgow in 1926. Her father was William Grant McKee, born in 1888 in Glasgow. He married Dorothy Miller. William's parents were James McKee, born 1860 in Glasgow, and Agnes Elizabeth Grant, born 1860 in Glasgow. James was the son of Henry McKee, born 1835 in Ireland, and Anne Reynolds, born 1837 in Ireland. I haven't been able to find Henry McKee in Ireland or his ancestry.
