NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 .n. DEC. 23,1916.

- ST. IXAN (12 S. ii. 348 r 438). Adam King have invent rd this saint, but his D ruM not have been to fill a gap in the calendar, because he had at least half-a- dozen other saints at his disposal whose fea-;t was celebrated by the Church on Aug. 18. Sir Harris Nicolas has duly included St. Inan in his ' Alphabetical Calendar of Saints' Days ' (p. 154), but net in the ' Roman and Church Calendar ' for August (p. Ill), where on the 18th of that month only the names of Agapitus, martyr, and Helena, queen, are given. Cf. his ' Chronology of History.' Your correspon- dent does not state whether he has consulted the Bollandist Fathers' ' Acta Sajictorum ' under the date. L. L. K.

SIR WILLIAM OGLE : SARAH STJEWKELEY (12 S. ii. 89, 137, 251, 296). I beg to thank W. R. W. and DIEGO for their helpful replies. From the ' Verney Memoirs ' (vol. iii.) it appears that John Stewkelev (b. 1612, d. 1684), brother of the 1st Bart", was married for the second time, about 1653, to Can,-, fourth daughter of Sir Edmund Verney' (b. 1590, d. 1642), and that they had daughters : Penelope, b. 1654 ; Gary, b. 1655 ; Carolina, b. 1660; Isabella (?) ; and Cathe- rine, who was called " Kitty Ogle " in 1695. Who could her husband have been, and when did she marry ? Before my attention was drawn by DIEGO to the ' Verney Memoirs ' I had noted that Dr. Newton Ogle, Bishop of Winchester (b. 1726, d. 1804), was a son of Nathaniel Ogle of Northumberland, and that the Dean's brother, Admiral Sir Chaloner Ogle, died at Worthy, near Winchester, in September, 1816, aged 88. Who, then, was " Admiral Sir Chaloner Ogle " of the ' Dictionary of National Biography,' b. 1681, d. 1750 ? Unfortunately, I only possess the Index of that work, and in a remote country village have no hope of seeing the original, cr any book of reference likely to clear up the mystery.

Then, with regard to Sir William, Viscount Ogle (an Irish title), who died in 1682, was he possibly related to

Sir John Ogle (b. 1569, d. 1640), military commander .... in the Low Countries, 1591; knighted 1603 ; Governor of Utrecht for the Stadtholder Maurice, 1610-18 ; granted coat of armour by James I. ; member of the Council of War, 1624 ; employed in Ireland under Went- worth " ? See ' D.N.B.'

Sir William Ogle was guardian of Sir Thomas Phelips (slain on the Royalist side, 1644-5), and married Sir Thomas's mother,

Dame Ch arity Phelips.before May, 1 627. She died October, 1645, during the siege of Winchester Castle. I mention this because Foster, in his ' Oxford Graduates,' under ' Ogle ' says :

" William, B.A. 'from Merton College, 1st April, 1628. One Sir Wm. Ogle M.P. for Winchester (L.P.) till disabled June, 1643. Created Viscount, Ogle in Ireland, 1645."

(See also Foster's ' Parliamentary Dic- tionary-.') He married Sarah, Lady Stewke- ley, between 1645 and 1648. She was Sarah, daughter of Sir John Daunt sey cf Lavington, co. W 7 ilts, and was 11 years of age at the Herald's Visitation of that county in 1623. Any help to the solving of" these difficulties will be gratefully received by F. H. S.

[The ' D.N.B.' describes Admiral Sir Chaloner Ogle, who died in 1750, as " brother of Nathaniel Ogle, physician to the forces under. Marlbprough. and apparently also of Nicholas Ogle, physician of the blue squadron under Sir Clowdisley Shovell in

1697 He was married, but seems to have died

without issue."]

' SIR GAMMER VAUS ' (12 S. ii. 410, 498).. Like W. S. I have a distinct recollection of this curious production. Strange to say, it appeared in a school reading-book, and though it was avoided in class it was in constant request in leisure hours. I have never met with it since. The surname was Vans, not "Vaus." JOHN T. PAGE.

[H. K. ST. J. S. thanked for reply.] ZJlDSUMMER FlRES AND TWELFTH-DAY

FIRES IN ENGLAND (12 S. ii. 427). Thirty years ago it was the custom to light bonfires on Midsummer Night on Carn Brea Hill, Cornwall. Customs die slowly in the W T est,. and probably this is still observed.
