.—I should be glad to know of any bookplates of the Savery family of Devon, whose arms are Gules, a fess vair between three unicorns' heads couped, or—Crest, a heron's head erased argent between two wings displayed sable, holding in the beak an olive branch vert (sometimes an eagle's head)—and generally quartering the arms of Servington of Devon, viz., Ermine on a chevron azure three bucks' heads cabossed or, the co-heiress having married Stephen Savery of Great Totnes, Devon. I possess one of Charles Savery of Bristol quartering Servington and impaling Butler of Caerleon, Monmouthshire, viz., 1st and 4th, Or a chief indented azure; 2nd and 3rd, gules, three covered cups or. Also one of the Webster family, On a lozenge argent, a cross flory between four mullets sable with an escutcheon of pretence for Savery quartering Butler. Were the Butlers of Irish descent and to what family of Webster did the bookplates belong? Any information would be gratefully received.

—I would like to know the ancestry of Hugh Nevin, who was appointed vicar of Donaghadee, Co. Down, in December, 1634. He was the grandfather of Thomas Nevin, born at Kilwinning, Ayrshire, in 1686. Thomas was educated at Glasgow College, where he matriculated Feb. 25, 1703. He was ordained Minister of Downpatrick by the Down Presbytery, Nov. 20,1711. He died March, 1744, and was succeeded by his son William in 1746. William died Nov. 13, 1780, and was succeeded by his second son, also William, as minister at Downpatrick, 1785-9. This William afterwards became an M.D. Thomas Nevin married a daughter of James Fleming, minister of Lurgan.

Did any member of this family emigrate to America, and when?

Andrew Nevin married a sister of Lady Montgomery of the Ards; was he of the above family? What was the maiden name of his wife?

I will appreciate any information in regard to the above family.

—Charles Henry Bloxam was admitted to Westminster School in January, 1824, aged 11; Fraser Houston Bloxam in January, 1819, aged 8; and George Frederick Bloxam in January, 1834, aged 10. Can correspondents of 'N. & Q.' give me any information about these Bloxams?

—John Boulger, son of John Boulger of St. Martin's parish, Chester, graduated M.A. at Oxford, from Ch. Ch. in 1816, and William Boulger, eldest son of William Boulger of Bradfield, Berkshire, matriculated at the same university from Queen's College in 1825. Further particulars of their careers are desired.

—James and Susannah Brindley, the parents of James Brindley the celebrated engineer of the Bridgewater Canal, were living at Spinner Bottom, Hayfield, Derbyshire, in 1723 and 1726, when the baptisms of their sons, Henry and John, were recorded in the Hayfield Registers. What was the maiden name of Susannah Brindley? Can she have been the Susannah, daughter of Mr. John Bradbury of Spinner Bottom, baptized at Hayfield, 1691. It is worth noting that Samuel, son of Richard Brinsley of Spinner Bottom, was baptized April 7, 1716, at Hayfield.
