NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2>«» S. VIII. July 16. 'biK 



time tbeir publication may assist me in identify- 

 ing the names and obtaining farther information 

 about those that bore them. In most cases the 

 date of the boy's birth is given in addition to that 

 of his admission into the school, but the earliest 

 registers are generally much more exact in this 

 particular than the later. 



I give the names, with date of birth if contained 

 in the registei", and append a few notes of my 

 own, where I have been able to gain any inform- 

 ation relating to them : —

 cording to Wood, he was born at Oxford in October 

 1602, and not as above, but Wood is not infallible.

52. Edmund Lenthall, b. 1633. 



53. Francis Lenthall, b. 1634.

 another in the Probation List. Dr. Good, the 

 Head Master from 1644. was suspended in 1649 by 

 Bradshaw for printing Salmasius Defensio Regia.)
