TOOKE AND HALLEY FAMILIES. (See 10 S. vii. 445; viii. 37.)

As the surname Tooke seems to be some- what rare in English records, the notes iollowing may be of interest to other readers.

In ' A Display of Heraldry,' by John 'Guillim, London, 1724, appears on p. 395, -col. 1, the description of the coats of three families, viz., James Tooke of London (authority : Her. Off., Lond. ; C. 24, fo. 442b) ; Took (of Popes and Wormley, in co. Hertford) ; Smith (of Old Buckenham, in Norfolk).

The ' History of Hertfordshire,' by John Edwin Cussans, London, 1874-8, vol. ii., ' Hundred of Hertford,' gives, on pp. 158-9, ~249, a Tooke pedigree tracing from one " William Tooke of Popes, auditor of the Court of Wards and Liveries ; eldest son of Ralph Tooke of Godingston, co. Kent ; died 4th December, 1588, set. 80; buried at Essendon."

Burke's 'Landed Gentry,' 10th ed., London, 1900, pp. 700, 1211, contains two pedigrees of Tooke, under the surnames of Hales and Padwick.

The ' Visitation of London, 1633, 1634, and 1635 ' (Harl. Soc., 1883), vol. ii. p. 291, gives a pedigree of Tooke of Aldersgate Ward.

In the ' History of Norfolk,' by F. Blome- field (ed. 1805), Vol. ii. pp. 167, 171, appear some references to members of the families of Smith, Tooke, and Tooks.

The 'Visitation of Norfolk, 1563,' by Wm. Harvey, Clarenceux, published by Norfolk and Norwich Archaeological Associa- tion, 1878, vol. i. p. 90, gives the arms of Smith, with a pedigree of four generations in which the name Ursula occurs.

Lands in Upwell were bequeathed by Gilbert Kinder in 1645 (will, P.C.C.) to his daughter, Margaret Kinder. The testator gives " to good friend Mr. James Tooke,

auditor a ring of gowld of three poundes

price." John Tooke (son of James) and Margaret Kinder were married probably between 1655 and 1660. Their daughter, Mary Tooke, married Dr. E. Halley, at Islington, in 1682. The will of Gilbert Kin- der's widow has not been discovered. A few items concerning that family appear in the published ' Registers ^f St. Helen's, Bishopsgate ' (Harl. Soc., vol. xxxi.), 1904, as follows :

P. 24. Baptisms : "Jan. 6, 1635, Margaret, daughter of Gilbert Kinder, Mercer, and Margaret his wife."

P. 297. Burials : " Jan. 29, 1646, Gilbert Kinder, Mercer, in the Church."

P. 357. Burials : "Oct. 9, 1714, Margaret Tooke, Widow, in the South Eyle in the Church under the Deske."

"In the Public Record Office is the record of a grant, made in February, 1637, to John Tooke, X eldest son of James Tooke, Esq., of the office of one of the auditors of His Majesty's Court of j Wards and Liveries, after the death or other de- termination of the estate or interest of Charles Maynard and James Tooke, the present auditors, and of Walter Prichard."
