Try the broadside ballad index at www.erols.com/olsonw.
1632 was the year that John Wright {1} was faced with the fact his nephew John Wright (2) was also printing broadside ballads, so John Wright (1) started to add his street address to show which John Wright his ballads came from.


Easier, the broadside ballad index includes Stationers' Register entry dates. Just SEARCh through the file for '1632', But some very good ones were issued by Ed. Blackmore, starting in 1633.
