NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. i. APRIL s, me.

Cavendish, daughter of the second Sir Henry), of the Lords Kilmaine (descended from Anne Cavendish, sister of Deborah), of the Okeovers of Okeover (descended from Eliza Cavendish, daughter of the third Lord Waterpark), and many others.

Can any member of these families explain how Sir Henry Cavendish was kinsman to the Duke of Devonshire ? B. C. S.

ELIZABETH EVELYN. I should be glad to find a place for this lady in the pedigree of the Evelyn family. In the Register of St. Vedast's, Foster Lane, occurs the follow- ing entry :

" Mrs. Elizabeth Eveling buried in the Quire at the end of the Communion Table, 14 January, 1651."

Her will, which is dated Oct. 3, 1651, mentions :

"My sister Hart, my father's picture set with diamonds, & my best Bible neice Lady Elizabeth Gray, the Countess of Kent's daughter niece Mrs. Anne Needum, Sir Robert Needum's daughter cousin Mrs. Elizabeth Burch cousin Mr. George Eveling, Sir Thomas Eveling's brother Mr. Wil- liam Adams, a cousin, of the Middle Temple my cousin Mr. John Buckeridge cousin Mr. Roger Buckeridge cousin Mr. Edwards cousin Mr. Joseph Snelling."

The will was proved by John Buckeridge, the executor, Jan. 16, 1651/2. He was living at Ware from 1651 to 1661, and was a son of Arthur Buckeridge, brother of the Bishop of Ely, his mother being a daughter of Robert Hitchcock of Marlborough, but I cannot make out how the relationship to the Evelyns arises.

RADCLIFFE OF LEIGH : FAZAKEBLEY. In Burke's ' Landed Gentry,' 1858, the descent of John Nicholas Fazakerley is deduced from Alexander Radcliffe of Leigh, Lan- cashire. The family of Fazakerley claimed to be descended from the Derwentwater branch of the Radcliffes, and they certainly adopted the name and arms of the ancient Lancashire family of Fazakerley. Beyond one vague sentence in Baines's ' History of Lancashire ' I can find no pedigree of the Radcliffes of Leig;h ; while Baines, in his account of the family of Fazakerley, does not mention the Radcliffe connexion. I should be extremely grateful if I could be informed where I may find the correct and detailed pedigree.

The 'D.N.B.' throws no light on the subject ; nor do any other pedigrees of Radcliffe or Fazakerley.

In which regiment was Capt. John Pigott before being transferred to the 12th Regi- ment of Foot, which he left in 1780 on obtain- ing command of one of the six companies of Royal Invalids at Plymouth ? In what year did he join the 12th Regiment ?

AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED. Can any reader tell me where the following; quotations come from ? :

1. And thus 'twill be, nor long the day Ere we, like him, shall pass away. Yon sun that now our bosom warms

Shall shine but shine on other forms

The tree whose bending branches bear

The one loved name shall yet be there,

But where the hand that carved it where?'

2. Wake ! Wake to the hunting ! Wake ye, wake ! the morning is nigh. Chilly the breezes blow

Up from the sea below.

The name of England may be found Deeply engraven on my heart.

MILAN: SAN BABILA. This is a very old : church, supposed by some to be the first built in Milan. It was erected on the foundation of a temple of Mithras, and its first dedication is said to have been to Air Saints. As it was at Milan that Const&ntine subscribed his edict of toleration in 3 13, this may have been the first Christian church to be erected outside private houses (the* first council against the Donatists was held at Rome in 313 " in domo Faust ae in Later- ano "). The present dedication is to St., Babylas, martyr, Bishop of Antioch, and to the Three Boys, SS. Urbanus, Prilidianus^ and Epolonius, his disciples, who shared his martyrdom about the middle of the thrd century. His body is said to have been brought to Cremona by the Crusaders. Ar& his relics still at Cremona, and if so, in what church there ? Presumably some of them are in the church at Milan which bears his- name. His feast is kept there on Jan. 24.

About ten years ago the church WES- " restored," and the " restoration " has resulted in a beautiful eleventh - century Lombard church, spoilt, however, by too< modern decorations in the way of mosaic-
