SMITH OF BOWLDOWN : JENNEB FAMILY. (See 11 S. i. 488.) I inquired at the above reference : Who was Smith of Bowldown ? Jenner was of Marston, Wilts ; is Bowldown in Wilts or Gloucestershire ? I find in ' Three Oxfordshire Parishes,' by Mrs. Stapleton, Oxford Historical Society, 1884, p. 358, a sketch pedigree of Smith of Glouces- tershire :

Thomas Smith=T=daughter of Thomas Standard, of Kidlington.


Humphrey Smith=f Mary, y e dau. of ner,

of Gloucestershire.


Thomas Smith,=fthe dau. of Low, of Thrup and of of Kidlington. I Gt. Milton in Oxfordshire.


r

Thomas.


William. Molly.

At p. 88 of the same work there is another pedigree where Humphrey Smith is shown to be son of Thomas and Alice Smith, but this does not give his marriage, the whole particulars being : " Humphrey, buried at Kidlington, 1716, aged 44. High Sheriff," with a foot-note to the effect that he matri- culated at Wadham College, 17 Nov., 1690, aged 17. Can the missing surname, as above, of his wife Mary, have been Jenner ?

R. J. FYNMOBE. Sandgate.

. TIMOTHY CONSTABLE. (See US. xi. 150.) I shall be glad if any reader can give me any information relating to the ancestors of Timothy Constable, w T ho married on 13 Jan., 1736/7, at St. James's Church, Westminster, Elizabeth Hunting, and who was buried at Melford, Suffolk, in March, 1750. The marriage certificate reads as follows :

"Timothy Constable of Bradfield Combust in ye County of Suffolk and Elizabeth Hunting of this p. L.A.B.C. 1736/7."

CLIFFORD C. WOOLLABD.

PEGLEB AND HETTY PEGLEB'S TUMP. Can any reader tell me the derivation of the surname of Pegler ? There was formerly a family of Pegler living in and about Easting- ton in Gloucestershire. There the name was comparatively common, but I have never found it elsewhere. In the neighbouring parish of Uley is the prehistoric tumulus well known to archaeologists as Hetty Pegler's Tump. This adjoins the ancient camp of Uley Bury. Is there any tradition associating a person of this name with the mound ? ABTHUB HAYWABD.


WELTJE. I am compiling an article for a local magazine about this person, the cook and financial adviser to the Regent. Where can I get any facts about him ?

WILLIAM BULL.

Vencourt, Kin? Street, Hammersmith. [See 10 S. xii. 167, 239, 293, 352, 412, 466.]

HAGGATT AND BARNARD, ENGLISH CONSULS AT ALEPPO. 1 . Can any genea- logist tell me the relation, if any, between John Haggatt of Bristol (born 1627, Middle Temple 11 Dec., 1645), Chief Justice of Carmarthen, Cardigan, and Pembroke, and Bartholomew Haggatt, Consul in Aleppo 1614-15 ? Further particulars regarding the latter are sought. A John Haggatt, born 1565, matriculated at Magd. Coll., Oxford, 24 Nov., 1581.

2. Information is also required concerning Edward Barnard, appointed English Consul in Aleppo 25 Oct., 1638 (vide 11 S. xi. 254). H. C. B.

PBICE : ROBINS : BULKELEY : KIBKMAN. Catherine Price married 7 Nov., 1732, Valentine Robins, by whom she had issue a daughter Catherine Robins, married (Col.) Philip Bulkeley, by whom she had, with other issue, a daughter Joseph a Bulkeley, who married (Col.) Kirkman, by whom she had issue a daughter Josepha Kirkman. I should be glad to know to what branch of the Bulkeley family they belonged.
