In the account of " The Winning of the Lord- 

 ship of Glamorgan or Morgannwe out of the 

 Welshmen's Hands," said to be written by Sir 

 Edward Stradling, of St. Douat's Castle, Glamor- 

 ganshire, there is some information respecting the 

 Gamage family, their connections and estates.

The Liber Niger of Christ Church Cathedral, 

 Dublin, which contains copies of r^ncient charters 

 and various other documents relating to the archbi- 

 shopric, states that Andrew Gamage was sergeant 

 to Archbishop Luke [1228 to about 1251], in his 

 manor of Ballymore. He was one of the feoffees 

 by charter, and held in that manor to himself and 

 his heirs half a carucate of land for l2s.Gd. a-year. 

 His name also occurs as a juror to prove the 

 customs and liberties of Ballymore. The great 



roll of the Pipe in the Record Tower of Dublin 

 Castle contains the account of Master Thomas de 

 Chaddisworth, as custodee of the temporalities of 

 the see, during its vacancy from 1251 to 1257. 

 In his " discharge " of the profits of the manor of 

 Ballimore, he paid "to Walter Gamage for a 

 horse for the King's use, 11." The Liber Niger 

 contains a list of the jurors empanelled to try the 

 extent of the manor in 1325 ; in it are the names 

 of Richard and Robert Gamage. E. D. B. 



Portarlington, 



Anon, is informed that about seventy years ago 

 an ancient maiden lady, named Gamage, died in 

 the Sidbury, Woi'cester, where she had long re- 

 sided. She was very intimate with my family, 

 which had in 1760 removed from Herefordshire, 

 and settled in Worcester. Ogdo.

Suffragan Bishops (2"'' S. ii. 91.) — I can give 

 you some information respecting two or three of 

 the bishops named in the extract from Sir Thos.

 Robert Portland, or Poetlan (Wadding, Annates 

 Minorum, torn. v. p. 203., ad an. 1429 ; Regist. 

 Pontif, Ibid., p. 173. It does not appear that ho 

 ever took possession of the see. Another (or per- 

 haps the same) Robert of England, also a Fran- 

 ciscan, is mentioned as appointed to the same 

 bishopric in 1444, by provision of Pope Eugene

 Dominicana, p. 473.
