The late Dr. Suringar, whose copy of the

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.

BARRY. Who were the parents of the Rev. George Barry, D.D., historian, of Orkney ? In ' Fasti Eccl. Scot.' it is stated that he was born in Berwickshire in 1748, and studied in the University of Edinburgh, from which he had his D.D. in 1804. He was Minister of Kirkwall 1782-93, and of Shapinsey 1793, till his death in 1805. Has any biographical notice been written about him ? and does a portrait exist ? There is a place-name Barrie in Banff, mentioned in 1637, and there is the parish and barony of Barry in Forfarshire, from which latter the surname appears to be derived.

The following are notices of persons of the name of Barry in Scottish records : 1617, John, son of William, Dundee ; 1670, James, son, of James, burgess of Edinburgh ; 1685, Andrew, faber lignarius, Leith, son of John, merchant burgess, Edinburgh ; 1659, Mar- garet and Isabell, heirs-portioners of their father, William, of Gottonsyd, 11^ acres in the regality of Melrose. This was in, Rox- burgh, the adjoining county to Berwickshire, where Dr. Barry was born.

REGISTER OF MARRIAGES OF ROMAN CATHOLICS BEFORE 1837. Where am I likely to find the record of the marriage of two French emigres in London in 1795 ? Between 18 Aug. and 14 Oct. of that year one of the daughters of the Marquis de Vaudreuil, the celebrated French admiral, who was then an exile in London, married her father's cousin, the Comte de Vaudreuil, described as a very old man.

WESTMINSTER SCHOOL USHER. Dr. Pier- son Lloyd was Usher of the above school from 1748 to 1771. He was the father of Robert Lloyd the poet (1733-64). I have been told that Dr. Pierson Lloyd was of Welsh extraction, and his surname suggests this. Is there anything known about his family ? He seems to have been admitted to Westminster as a scholar in 1718, when 14 years of age, and elected as scholar to Trinity, Cambridge, in 1722. At least the name of his father would probably appear with these entries in the registers of either or both of these seminaries. I should be glad of any information about his parents amd original home. T. LLECHID JONES.

A SECOND ENGLISH POPE. In all our histories we are taught that Nicholas Break- speare, Pope Adrian IV., was the only Englishman who ever ascended the Papal throne. But it is stated that the Earls of Cavan, whose family name is Lambart, claim that an Englishman of their family altered his name to Lambartini, and waB elected to the Papal chair.

1. Has there ever been a Pope bearing the name of Lambartini ? 2. If so, what was his Pontifical name, and when did he reign ? 3. Is there any proof that he was an English- man, and belonged to the family of the Lambarts ? T. W. T.
