NOTES AND QUERIES. [11 s. vi. NOV. ie, 1912.

ATKYNS FAMILY (US. ii. 429, 474; v. 448 ; vi. 137). The following entries relat- ing to the Atkyns family in the Parish Registers of Sapperton and Nether Swell, both in Gloucestershire, may be useful for supplementing existing biographical notices. The manor of Sapperton was purchased by Sir Robert Atkyns the elder in 1660, and that of Nether Swell in 1659. I have to acknowledge permission given by the Rector of Sapperton for access to the registers there, and also the kindness of the Rev. T. A. Garnett in giving me every facility for transcribing the entries from the Register of Nether Swell. This Register, which has suffered much from fire, commences in 1678, and that of Sapperton in 1662.
