may have been a son of the first named, although not named in the will of 1769.

Have the " Peculiar Wills " of Bakewell and other places in Derbyshire, now at Lichfield, been searched also the Taxal parish registers ?

Eccles is a place in Chapel-en-le-Frith parish, and not the town in Salford Hun- dred ; it lies about half a mile from White- hough. A. CARRINGTON.

TOTTENHAM CHURCHYARD, MIDDLESEX <10 S. viii. 247, 355). When I wrote the original note as to the condition of Totten- ham Parish Churchyard, I came fresh and rather indignant from a personal visit to it ; and I regret that I must adhere to what was then said, that part of it (that lying on the north side of the church) was in a desolate and disgraceful condition. A visit, however, on Saturday, the 9th inst, showed me that there was proceeding an attempt to clear away the rubbish and cut down the vastly overgrown elder and other trees, and perhaps to put in some sort of order the graves to which I referred. I am not curious to inquire whether this was in consequence of the strictures which were made by me at the first reference. W. C. J.

The name Buckworth seems to belong to Berks. Charles Buckworth, Esq., of Park Place, married Eliza, daughter and sole heiress of Peter Shakerley, Esq., of Somer- ford, co. Chester. He died in 1783. His eldest son, Charles Watkin John Buckworth, of Somerford and Shakerley, assumed the name and arms of Shakerley in 1790, and died in 1834. His son Charles Peter Shakerley was created a baronet in 1838, and his grandson Sir Walter Shakerley is now head of the family. The pedigree of the ancient family of Shakerley is given in Helsby's edition of Ormerod's ' Cheshire.' JOHN PICKFORD, M.A.

FIRST ENGLISH JESUIT (10 S. viii. 190). If William Good was admitted into the Society of Jesus at Tournay in 1562, as appears to have been the case, he was not the first Englishman so admitted. Simon Bellost who was a native of the dioeese of Lincoln, had been ordained priest in 1533, and had studied at Merton College, Oxford, for six years was admitted at the Professed House of the Society at Rome on 24 May, 1560, aged 53, and was afterwards sent to Treves and Louvain. He was alive in 1570 (see Foley, ' Records S.J.,' vii. 1419).


Dr. Sander mentions him as deprived of a benefice at Queen Elizabeth's accession. I think he must be the person described as follows in Foster's ' Alumni Oxonienses ' : " Bellister, Simon (Bellystre), B.A. 7 July, 1539, M.A. 12 July, 1542, erroneously said to be Archdeacon of Colchester in 1545. See 'Fasti,' i. 116." I do not know his benefice.

Thomas King, M.A., vicar of East Camel, Somerset, who held also another living unidentified, was admitted to the Society at the Professed House at Rome on 5 July, 1561, aged about 27. He died in Germany in March, 1565 (see Foley, op. cit, vii. 1437-8). Dr. Sander mentions one King among priests deprived at Queen Elizabeth's accession. JOHN B. WAINE WRIGHT.

TYRRELL FAMILY (10 S. viii. 190). James Tyrrell of Ireland, by Mary Warren his wife, dau. of Capt. Michael Warren and sister of Vice-Admiral Sir Peter Warren, K.B., M.P. (she d. in Little Ormond Street, 26 Feb., 1771, aged 99), had an only son Richard Tyrrell, Rear-Admiral of the White and Commander-in-Chief at the Leeward Islands. Richard married, 18 Nov., 1747, Mrs. Russell Chester, a wealthy widow, and sole heiress to her father Barry Tankard, of the island of Antigua, Esq., also of Irish descent. The gallant captain, when not capturing prizes, was comfortably housed on his sugar plantation, overlooking the naval station at English Harbour, and so secured a double profit by land and sea. He died 27 June, 1766, aged 49, s.p., and was buried at sea. His will, dated 20 Feb., 1765, and proved 5 Aug., 1766 (P.C.C. 323 Tyndall), gives no clue to his ancestry. Full details can be seen in my ' History of Antigua.'

Vice-Admiral Sir Peter Warren, whose monument is also in Westminster Abbey, d. s.p.m., and in his will, dated 26 July and proved 30 Oct., 1752 (P.C.C. 266 Bettes- worth), names in remainder his nephew the said Capt. Richard Tyrrell, and refers to his lands of " Warrenstown of 448 acres."

The following will relates probably to one of the family :

"Edward Tyrrell, Lieut.-Col. in Lieut. -Gen. Wynyard's Reg. of foot in Minorca. 20 Sep. 1748. I have 6000 1 in the hands of my bro. in law Joshua Douglass, he to hold 5000 1 for my wife Jane, and after her death for my nephew Richard Tyrrell

if 25 his father Morrice T. of Tullamore, King's

Co. My 3 sisters Alice Kavanagh, Honora De- souches, and Margaret Boulton. Wife Jane and bro. M. T. Ex' p. 4 Feb., 1748/-9, by latter." P.C.C. 60 Lisle.
