BURNEY FAMILY. Being desirous of tracing the lineage of the family of the distinguishec Dr. Charles Burney, author of ' The History of Music ' (ol. 1814), I should bs glad of an} information as to the names of the childrer of his son Dr. Charles Burney, the eminen Greek scholar (ob. 1817), who married a daughter of Dr. Rose (translator of Sallust) of Chiswick, in 1783. In the ' Dictionary o National Biography ' only one son, the Rev Charles Parr Burney, D.D., afterward; archdeacon (ob. November, 1864) is men tioned. The Rev. Alexander D'Arblftj Burney, vicar of Witham Mary (ob. July 1881), in the local obituary was stated to be a brother of the Rev. H. Bannerman Burney vicar of Norton St. Philip (1866-90) ; and the latter, who died April, 1890, married hi* cousin, daughter of the Rev. Charles Pan Burney. What were the names of the latter's brothers ? I believe the eldest was the Rev. Richard Allan Burney, rector ol Rimpton, Somerset, who died 29 March, 1836. J. A. NORRIS.

LADY MARGARET DE THONY. Lady Mar- garet de Thony, de Toeni, or de Toneio, lived in the thirteenth century, and was the foundress of several religious houses in France. She is said to have married an Earl of "Fiff," a "Scotch gentleman. ' Presumably this "Fiff" is our Scottish Fife ; but neither Douglas's 'Scots Peerage' nor the 4 Diet, of Nat. Biog.' makes any mention of her. May I appeal to some learned reader of ' N. & Q.' to come to the rescue 1 I want to ascertain (1) whether "Fiff" here stands for Fife ; (2) what particular earl this good dame wedded. Any information will greatly oblige.

THE 11 ENRY BROUGHAM, STEAMER. In Newton Bosworth's 'Hochelaga,' p. 242, I notice a reference to the steamer Henry Brougham, which arrived at Montreal on 4 November, 1838. I never before heard of a ship being so named. With much regret

it is that here I miss the ever-ready help of MR. EVERARD HOME COLEMAX, who would have told us when and where the ship was built and what became of her. The Henry Brougham reminds me of a fishing smack, the Non Me Ricordo of Rarnsgate, which I saw broken up there some fifteen years ago. RALPH THOMAS.

WESTHOPE COURT ROLLS, SALOP. These manor-court rolls are missing. Can any one kindly give me information where they are likely to be found ? Please write direct.

WILLIAM HENRY BAYNTUN was admitted to Westminster School in 1817. I should be glad to obtain particulars of his parentage and career. In all probability he was a brother of Samuel Adlam Bayntun, who was admitted the same day, and was afterwards M.P. for York. G. F. R. B.

EDMUND CRAVEN COLMAN was the son of George Col man the younger, by his wife Clara Morris. Particulars of his career and the date of his death are wanted.

ST. THOMAS AQUINAS : HIS ANCESTRY. Can any one tell us where there may be seen a pedigree of this saint 1 ? The Emperor Frederick I., called Barbarossa, was, we believe, his great- uncle. He must have been nearly connected with almost all the royal and princely houses of Europe. As St. Thomas is generally regarded as the greatest philosophical thinker of the Middle Ages, it s for scientific reasons important to know who were his ancestors in all the collateral hies that can be recovered.

MR THOMPSON, OF THE GTH DRAGOONS.

Can anybody help me to identify the Mr.

Thompson who was an old acquaintance of

Cossuth, and was in Widdin, visiting the

iungarian refugees' camp, in 1850? I have

een a sketch of Hungarian peasants signed

Thompson, 6th Dragoons." Probably it

was by the same individual. L. L. K.

ELLIOTT: PONSONBY, 1061. I shall be bliged by any clue to the supposed relation- hip of Capt. Richard Elliott, of Clonmore, reland, to those in Scotland, Earl of Minto, nd others. He had a cousin Col. Ponsonby.
