NOTES AND QUERIES. [ii s. iv. AUG. 26, 1911.

the line of Caracciolo-Pasquizi. The elder brother apparently inherited his last three titles (Prince of Leporano, &c.), from his mother.

In the ' Annuario ' the pedigrees of a few families are taken as far back as about 1780. ROBERT PIERPOINT.

WARNER=CAPELL OB ABBOTT (11 S. hi. 228, 276, 314). Thanks to the publicity afforded by ' N. & Q.,' and by the courtesy of COL. FYNMORE and the late MR. G. E. OKAYNE, whose recent death we must all deplore, I have now been supplied with the following extract from parish register of Saltwood, co. Kent :

" 1616 April 30, John Warner, Doctor in Divinitie, maryecl by lycense to Mrs. Jone Abbott, widow."

It is quite clear to my mind that this John Warner must have been the John Warner, afterwards Bishop of Rochester, 1637-66, as he is the only Warner, D.D., mentioned in Foster's ' Alumni Oxonienses ' who could have married at that time.

As regards " Mrs. Jone Abbott," she is clearly the same as " Joanne," widow, to whom on 22 Sept., 1615, Admon. to the estate of her husband, the Rev. John Abbott. Rector of Great Chart and Canon of Canterbury, was granted by the Court of Canterbury. This John Abbott was inducted to Great Chart in 1612 (on the presentation of Archbishop Abbot, who was probably his relative ?), and died in 1615. To him succeeded the Rev. William Kingsley, who had married Damaris Abbot, niece of Archbishop Abbot, the patron also of Saltwood, which living Kingsley was then holding, and where he probably continued to reside. One would like to know what was the maiden surname of Mrs. Jone Abbott ? As regards the marriage of a " John Warner of London " to Avice Capell some time before 1615, as previously men- tioned 118. iii. 228, this may or may not have been a previous marriage of John Warner, afterwards Bishop of Rochester, but, as MR. COKAYNE truly observed, such a description savours rather of the com- mercial than of the ecclesiastical profession. Who then, however, was this John Warner ? EDWARD LEE WARNER.

SIR NICHOLAS ARNOLD (US. iv. 42, 110). While thanking MR. HOCKADAY for his reply, and especially for additional informa- tion respecting the father of Sir Nicholas, I would point out that the main difficulty m my query still awaits solution. Was Dorothy the heiress of Highnam and the

wife of Sir Thomas Lucy, jun., the daughter of Sir Nicholas Arnold, as stated in his will, or the granddaughter as per the Gloucester- shire Visitation ? The statements of Smyth in his ' Lives of the Berkeleys ' and of Atkyns in his ' Ancient and Present State of Gloucestershire ' are both obviously based upon the Visitation, and therefore of no additional authority. In the absence of any will of Rowland Arnold his P.M.Inq. would be valuable to the purpose. Perhaps some correspondent may know where this is to be found. The volumes of Gloucester- shire Inquisitions, temp. Charles I., printed by the British Record Society, do not con- tain his name, but he probably passed away in the reign of James I. W. D. PINK.

"Ds LA" IN ENGLISH SURNAMES (11 S. iv. 127). In transcribing the Registers of the parish of St. Martin, Chichester, I have found several entries relating to a family of the name of Delangeter or Delanget, for it is spelt both ways. The earliest entry is a baptism on 26 March, 1568. There is nothing to show the position of the family.

MR. DELAFIELD might, perhaps, find what he requires in ' Words and Places ; or, Etymological Illustrations of History, Ethnology, and Geography,' and ' Names and their Histories,' both by Isaac Taylor (London and Cambridge, 1864, et seq.), or ' Family Names and their Story,' by S. Baring-Gould (London, 1910).

"VIVE LA BELGE" (11 S. iv. 129). About 2,400 of the Belgian Garde Civique and Volunteers came to this country on 11 July, 1867, and remained till the 22nd. They were brought here from Antwerp in the Indian troopship Serapis, and went back in the same vessel. In the previous year a contingent of English volunteers had visited Brussels, and the invitation to London was in recognition of the hospitality accorded to our force when in Belgium. MR. PIERPOINT will find a full and interesting account of this visit in the * Annual Register ' for 1867. Suffice it to say here that our visitors were entertained in the City by the Lord Mayor. They were reviewed at Wimbledon by the Prince of Wales. Gala entertainments were provided for them at Cremorne Gardens and the Alhambra, and a grand ball was given in their honour at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, where no fewer than 15,000 persons were entertained.
