HENBY VII. IN WALES AND BRITTANY. Henry VII., when on his way from France to Bosworth Field in 1485, landed at Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire, and marched through Cardiganshire. He was enter- tained at Llwyn-Dafydd and Wern-Newydd in the south of that county, and the bed- stead in which he slept is still to be seen at Wern-Newydd.

There is also a tradition that he called at Gogerddan in the north of the same county. Then he proceeded through the county of Montgomery. Henry had been in Brittany for fifteen years, detained there by Duke Francis II. The ruins of the Castle of Elven, where (as Earl of Richmond) he spent so many years of his life, are not far from Vannes ; and when I visited the spot during my recent stay in Brittany I found two of the old towers still standing.

"GtrLYAs." The name of this "famous Hungarian dish" has found its way into English print, but in the corrupt form of "gulash," as "she is spelt" by German waiters. The Pall Mall Gazette of 22 Aug. gives directions how to make "gulash" or "gulyahus," which is also wrong. Only a means " herd " in Hungarian, gulyds "neat-herd." The correct name would be gulyds-hus, i.e., "neat-herd's stew," but the name of the dish is generally abbreviated into gulyds. L. L. K.

WE must request correspondents desiring in- formation on family matters of only private interest to affix their names and addresses to their queries, in order that answers may be sent to them direct.

ALABASTER EFFIGIES. There are three old life-size alabaster effigies in our church. Could any reader of ' N. & Q.' tell me whether the fact that they are alabaster is in any way an indication of their probable age ? They have been taken to represent (1) Rhys Fawr ap Meredydd, standard- bearer on Henry's side in the Battle of Bosworth Field ; (2) Lowry his wife ; (3) Sir Robert his son, chaplain to Cardinal Wolsey, and one of Henry VIII. 's most unscrupulous instruments in the dissolution of the religious houses in North Wales. Though they are mutilated, yet the armour of (1), the dress of (2), and the canonicals of (3) are certainly sufficiently represented to enable any one familiar with such things to decide whether the figures truly represent people living at the end of the fifteenth and beginning of the sixteenth centuries. Never- theless, if a considerable time elapsed between the age of the people represented and the time when the effigies were made, mistakes in armour, &c., might creep in through the ignorance of the sculptor. That is why I am desirous to know whether the fact that they are alabaster is an indica- tion of their age. I have been told they were made at Nottingham. Is anything known of such a trade in connexion with that town or county ?

HARRISON FAMILY. Can any of your Lancashire readers inform me whether Sir John Harrison, a Lancashire man (who was knighted by Charles I. in 1640, and owned Balls Park, Hertford, and bore arms Or, on a cross azure five pheons of the field, with a crest of "an arm vested azure, purfled or, cuffed argent, holding in the hand a broken dart proper, pheoned or "), was related to Cuthbert Harrison, a Non- juring minister who suffered persecution ? The descendants of Cuthbert Harrison bore these same arms. I shall be grateful for any assistance, as, owing to my residence abroad, I am unable to consult the usual books of reference.
