 learning and conduct,&quot; but his management of the College was not successful, and in 1637 he was recalled; returned to Rome about 1647, where he died, Jan. 14, 1660-1, aged 64, and interred in the mortuary of the English College under a stone bearing the following inscription:—D. O. M. Rev. Dno. Gulielmo Harto, alias Hargravio, Presbytero Anglo, patria Lancastrensi, sacra theologiæ et philosophic variis in academiis professori, postremo vero in pontificio Romanæ Sapientiæ studio, quo in munere post diuturnos ad Dei obsequium labores, carceres etiam ærumnas pro fide in Angli toleratas, pie mortem obiit, xiiii Calendas Januarii MDCLX, ætatis suæ anno lxiiii.

In his declaration upon entering the college at Rome he says that he had four brothers, one a Father of the Society, and two sisters. According to the Burnley register, his father was married to his first wife, Isabel Shackleton, Feb. 20, 158r, and the only issue of this marriage, recorded, was a son, James, baptized Dec. 9, 1584, the mother being buried on the following Jan. 7. James was reconciled to the Church in Framlingham prison by a priest named Robt. Woodroffe, one of the Woodroffes of Bank Top, near Burnley, who were allied with the Hargreaves family. He went to Douay College, matriculated in the Douay University in 1602, and proceeded to the English College at Rome, where he was admitted Oct. 6, 1603, and received minor orders in Aug. and Nov., 1604. He is not found in the Collectanea S.J. By the second marriage with Aloysia, his father had four sons—William, the subject of this notice; Robert, born May, 1600; John, born Dec. 1603; and Matthew, born March, 1605-6, and buried June 17, 1608; and two daughters—Mary, bapt. Oct. 8, 1598; and Anne, bapt. Apr. 9, 1609. Lady Eliz. Hart, abbess of the Bridgettine nuns of Syon, when the Community removed from Rouen to Lisbon, and Sister Margerie Hart, who died at Syon, July 23, 1628, were probably aunts to William Hargeaves.

Fr. Wm. Shackleton, alias Stanton and Banister, S.J., who died in Lancashire in 1655, aged about 71, was most probably a near relative.
