12 s. ix. SEPT. io, 1921.] NOTES AND QUERIES. 215 the middle of the eighteenth century. The extension of the street about a hundred years ago caused it to be described as Upper and Lower Milk Street. There does not appear to have ever been either a Butter or Cheese Street in Liverpool. G. T. S. Liverpool. Manchester must not be denied any of its " valuable " possessions, especially when " commerce " is involved. This is to certify to your esteemed correspondent that our city does own a Milk Street, but must own to the curl being taken out of our tail in not owning streets ycleped " Butter " or " Cheese." RICHARD LAWSON. Manchester. There is a Milk Square in Nottingham. C. C. B. There is a Milk Street in Rochdale, but no Cheese or Butter Street. RICHD. HEAPE. TBEWTHE FAMILY (12 S. ix. 170). " Trew- the "is in all probability a variant of " Tre- thewy." Berry, in his ' Encyclopaedia Heraldica,' gives the arms of Trethewy of St. Stephens, Cornwall, as : Or, a chev. sa. between three trefoils az. I have heard the name " Trethewy " pro- nounced " Trew-the " in West Cornwall. ROBERT GOWER. VALENTINE GREEN (12 S. ix. 170). On p. 446 of vol. ii. of The Gentleman's Magazine for 1813, Mr. James Ross of Worcester, writing of " his friend " Valentine Green, says : Mr. Green told me himself, that he was born at Salford near Evesham in this County, Oct. 3, 1739, so that it appears, he died in his 74th year. His Father, I believe, was of the profession of a Country Dancing Master. He was apprenticed to Mr. Robert Hancock of this City. In all probability Green was baptized at the church of the parish in which he was born, and if so the registers should show his parentage. ROBERT GOWER. Valontino Green was born Oct. 16, 1739, at Salford, near Chipping Ongar, Co. Oxon. The D.N.B.' says his father was a dancing master. Doubtless the parish records would at least show who his parents were. E. E. LEGGATT. The best account of this clever engraver that I have been able to find is in Mr. Alfred Whitman's catalogue of his mezzotints (Lon- don, A. H. Bullen, 1902). J. C. ANGER, AUKGIER, ANGIER (12 S. ix. 172). In the course of my researches into the genealogy of the Pepys family, I have come across a good many references to the above name and its variants. There are a number of references also to be found in Pepys' s ' Diary ' itself, where they appear as related. What this relationship was has recently been made clear by the discovery of a marriage, in 1633, between " Percefall Angger and Elizabeth Peapes." This Elizabeth was aunt to the diarist, therefore the Percival Angier of the ' Diary ' was uncle by marri- age to Samuel not cousin as he calls him. There is in the British Museum some correspondence relating to Christ's Hospital between one Thomas Aungier and Pepys no address given the former subscribes himself in one case as " nephew," and Pepys addresses him as ' ' cozen. ' ' He appears from these letters to have been on the committee of the school. Doubtless he was the son of the above marriage. There are other facts which will be published shortly. W. H. WHITEAR/F.R.Hist.S. 10, Fairlawn Court, Chiswick. THE REV. CHARLES ASHTON (12 S. ix. 170). Charles Ashton, admitted sizar at Queen's Coll., Cambs, May 18, 1682.

Some un- certainty may arise from the generally known name and the real name of this man and his daughter Sophia. Another daughter of his, Catherine, married the Rev. Mark Drury of Harrow, and my note records her as " daughter of Dominico Malevolti Angelo Tremamondo, md. 1790." I have not the reference for this. The father was probably buried under his full name, and official references or entries concerning his daughter Sophia would be similarly given. H. C. DRURY.
