Robert Marmaduke'Afore' hasn't been used since the 16th Century.
Yes it has. It is less used today, but it was in widespread use in the nineteenth century. It is still used in "afore mentioned", and you might come across it in other contexts from time to time.

I thought I knew "heckle" but it turned out I was confusing it with "hackle". So that should be added too.
