NOTES AND QUERIES. [io s. VIL JUNE 22, 1907.

his ' Newman ' (vol. i. of ' Literary Lives,' 1904) says : " Born in the City of London, not far from the Bank, on Feby. 21st, 1801." It was proposed some years since to affix a tablet to the house in Bloomsbury Square where the future cardinal spent part of his boyhood. A medallion marking the site of the house where he was born would certainly add to the literary associa- tions of the City of London.

FREDERICK T. HIBGAME.

FRANCIS KENDALL, citizen and Merchant Taylor of London, married, at St. Helen's Church, Bishopsgate, 29 Dec., 1670, Sarah, elder daughter of John Cope, citizen and Haberdasher of London (Misc. Gen. et Her., Third Series, iv. 212). Francis Kendall, in his will, dated 1 Oct., 1673 (proved, with a codicil dated 2 Feb., 1673/4, by the testator's father John Kendall, 16 Feb., 1673/4, P.C.C. 26 Bunce), directs his burial, with his wife and child, in a vault in the church of St. Mary-at-Hill, Eastcheap, City of London. He possessed land in Aythorp, Essex, and refers to the children of his uncles Bromidge (one of the witnesses to his will was George Brorhwich) and Tissard, to a cousin John Bennet, and to Kendall Heron and William Heron. Who was Edward Augustus Ken- dall, who in 1796 married Maria Webb ? What was the link, if any, between this Maria Webb and Charles Newdigate Webb who was living 24 Jan., 1812 ; and also with Benjamin Webb, who married, in 1767, a Miss Newdigate, of Clapham, Surrey (8 S. xii. 87) ?

I shall be much indebted for information as full as possible with regard to the above. Please reply direct.

JEAN DE SCHELANDRE. Where can I find biographical particulars about him ? Asse- lineau's booklet is very meagre in this respect. Prof. Saintsbury gives the dates of his birth and death, and briefly mentions his ' Tyr et Sidon,' but not his ' Stuartide ' (which is full of Scottish history and topo- graphy) or his ' Tableaux de Penitence,' both of which were dedicated to James I., King of Great Britain and Ireland. Fran- cisque Michel does not mention him in ' Les Ecossais en France : les Francais en Ecosse ' (Londres, 1862). Have his 'Melanges' been discovered ? L. L. K.

CEMETERY CONSECRATION. In a popular reference book it is stated that the first cemetery consecrated in England was Kensal

Green, 2 Nov., 1832. But this is nearly four years later than the consecration of St. James's Cemetery, Liverpool, an old quarry, converted into a public graveyard, and con- secrated 12 Jan., 1829, the first interment taking place five months after. It is the site of the new cathedral, now fast approach- ing completion.

Is any earlier consecration known than 1829 ? WILLIAM JAGGARD.

FATHER PARSONS' s PORTRAIT. On 3 November last (10 S. vi. 342) I referred to my selling to the late Lord Brabourne a portrait of Father Parsons. This engrav- ing was probably sold at Sotheby's with the library of the Dowager Lady Brabourne. Will the purchaser be kind enough to tell me where a friend of mine might see it, if in England, Scotland, or Ireland ?

JAS. HAYES, M.R.S.A.I. Ennis, co. Clare.

RUTLEDGE FAMILY or CHARLESTOWN, SOUTH CAROLINA. Information is much desired regarding the above family. The Hon. John Rutledge, of Charlestown, sub- scribed to the ' Practical Sermons on Select Passages of Scripture ' by his kinsman the Rev. Thomas Rutledge, D.D. (1745-1818), published in 1794.

Has a pedigree of the family appeared in any American work dealing with the old families of the South ? Being a descendant of the doctor whose parentage, by the way, I am anxious to discover I shall much appreciate assistance.

' CADET ROUSSELLE.' The note on this song in ' La Lyre Francaise ' fixes the date of its composition about the period of the Directory. If this be correct, surely the name of the author is known. Can any satisfactory explanation be given for the recurrence of the number three in each stanza ? Any information regarding the song will be welcomed. R. L. MORETON.

Heathfield, Gerrard's Cross, Bucks.

SIR ANTHONY COOKE'S WIFE. The ' D.N.B.' article on Anthony Cooke states (xii. 76) that his wife was Anne, daughter of Sir William Fitzwilliam. But the same work, under Catherine Killigrew (xxxi. 106) states that this lady was daughter of Cooke by Alice, daughter of Sir William Walde- grave. What is the truth ?
