NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 196. 



simply, tteir coats of arms varying only in metal 

 and colour : 



Steplien Hoby (the earliest ancestor of the 

 Bisham family of whom any record is preserved), 



married , the daughter and heiress of 



Bylmore, whose arms were — Gu. three halberds 

 (long-handled battle-axes) in pale ar. handled 

 or. : hence, no doubt, the three battle-axes in con- 

 nexion with the Hoby or Hobby name at Bisham 

 Church. William Hoby, of Leominster, the tenth 

 in descent from the above-mentioned Stephen, 

 married Catherine, sole daughter and heiress of 

 John Forden alias Fordayne, by Gwentwynar, 

 daughter and heiress of Sir Griffith Vahan alias 

 Vaughan, Knight Banneret ; who was, as I am 

 led to think, of Denbigh or its neighbourhood. 

 I shall be happy to find I have thrown any light 

 upon the Query of A. C. H. C. C. 



Sir G, Browne, Bart. (Vol. vii., p. 528.). — Your 

 correspondent Newbuky is in ei'ror in styling this 

 George Browne a baronet, nor was he of West 

 Stafford or Wickham. He was the sole son and 

 heir of Sir George Browne, Knight, of Wickham- 

 breux, co. Kent, Caversham, co. Oxford, and Cow- 

 dray in Midhurst, co. Sussex ; which last estate 

 devolved on this family by the will of William 

 Fitzwilliam, Earl of Southampton, the son of Lucy 

 (daughter and co-heiress of John Nevill, Marquess 

 of Montagu) by her first husband, Sir Thomas 

 Fitzwilliam of Aldwark, co. York ; which Lucy 

 became the wife of Sir Anthony Browne, who was 

 knighted at the battle of Stoke, June 6, 1487, 

 and succeeded as above-mentioned to the Cowdray 

 estate. 



George Browne, who married Elizabeth or 

 Eleanor, the daughter of Sir Richard Blount, was 

 of Wickhambreux, Caversham, and also of West 

 Shefford in co. Berks ; his name appears as thus 

 in the Visitation of this county anno 1623. Of the 

 nineteen children, he had three sons whose names 

 are not given, and who died in the Royal cause 

 during the civil wars : but as Richard, the third 

 son, is expressly mentioned, he certainly was not 

 one of the three killed in the service of King 

 Charles I. Sir George Browne, second, but eldest 

 surviving son, was made a K.B. at the coronation 

 of King Charles IL ; and was celebrated by Pope 

 in his " Windsor Forest." He married Elizabeth, 

 daughter of Sir Francis Englefield, the second 

 baronet of Wootton Bassett, co. Wilts, and died 

 s. p. m. George, the eldest born, died an infant. 

 Henry, the fourth son, died unmarried March 19, 

 1668, and was burled at West ShefFord; and 

 John, the fifth son, was of Caversham, and created 



a baronet May 19, 1665. He married the widow 



of Bradley, and was the ancestor of the 



baronets of Caversham, extinct in 1774. Three 

 daughters, whose names are not given, became 

 nuns. Eleanor, another daughter, died unmarried, 

 Nov. 27, 1662, and was buried at West Shefford: 

 and Elizabeth was the wife of John Yate of West 

 Hanney, co. Berks ; and who died Jan. 26, 1671, 

 before his wife. H. C. C.

i^atitti ta ^avvtS^antimtS, 



In consequence of being compelled to go to press with the present 

 Number on Thursday, and of the number of Replies to Minor 

 Queries waiting for insertion, we have been co?npelled to omit our 

 Notes on Books, &c. 



T. M. B. The oft-quoted lines — 



" So down thy hill, romantic Ashbourn, glides. 

 The Derby dilly, carrying Three insides," &c. — 



will be found in the Poetry of the Antiiacobin, at the close of the 

 Second Part of The Loves of the Triangles. 



J. D. Where is the sentence of which you ask an explanation to 

 be found f Send the context, or farther particulars. 



C. E. F. and T. D. (Leeds). Your inquiry as to the best mode 

 of constructing a glass chamber for photographic purposes will be 

 answered in our next. 



Mr. John Cook has sent us a plan for taking cheaper pictures 

 for stereoscopic purposes by means of a coinmon camera, and the 

 substitution for the ordinary ground glass of a piece of plate glass 

 and a piece of paper, on which the outline of the figure is to be 

 traced. When one sketch is thus made, the camera is to be moved 

 fifteen or sixteen inches to the right or left, and a second drawing 

 made in the sa7ne way. The plan is a very obvious one ; arid 

 though adapted for those who can draw and have an ordinary 

 camera, it presents few advantages to photographers. 



H. H. H. (Ashburton). Were we to recommend you to any 

 particular maker for your collodion tent, we should deviate front 

 our rule of impartiality where several vendors are concerned, and 

 we would therefore refer you to our advertising colutnns. 



W. N. (Kingston). We are sorry we cannot afford space for 

 answering all your Queries on the making of gun cotton. A portion 

 made according to Dr. Diamond' s formulary has been forwarded 

 to your address ; and if it is not entirely soluble, then the fault is 

 in your ether. 



A few complete sets of" Notes and Queries," Vols. i. to yiU, 

 price Three Guineas and a Half, may now be had ; for which 

 early application is desirable. 



" Notes and Queries " is published at noon on Friday, so that 

 the Country Booksellers may receive Copies in that night's parcels, 

 and deliver them to their Subscribers on the Saturday.
