NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. in. FEB. 3, 1917.

religion, Michael Rermiger," is said to have married the sister of Leonard Ely. Michael Renniger (b. 1530, d. 1609) was presented to the rectory of Broughton (next Nether Wallop) in 1552 by Robert Renniger, and to that of Crawley, near Winchester, in 1560. He was buried in the latter church on Aug. 26, 1609, aged 79, having been the rector for all but fifty years.

Thomas Ely, brother-in-law of William -Gore, and trustee of his will (v. Chancery suit, 1592),* matriculated at Brasenose Col- iege, Oxford, in July, 1578, aged 23, was vicar of Wansborough, Wilts, and of Nether Wallop from 1587 to 1615, and Canon of tSarum, 1604. Mr. Pitman says :

" He purchased a manor in Nether Wallop in 1593, and held it until his death in 1615; his will was proved in the P.C.C. in that year He was ^succeeded by his younger son Thomas Ely, who was buried at Overton in 1630, leaving an infant son and heir, Thomas Ely."

There is still much relating to the early St. Johns, Gores, Elys, and Stewkeleys that local genealogists desire to know to complete their pedigrees, but so much has recently transpired by the help of the readers of " all things come to those who wait."

Is not the 'Diet. Nat. Biog.' in error in describing Admiral of the Fleet Sir Chaloner Ogle, Knt. (1681 - 1750), as brother (and should it not be cousin ?) of Dr. Nathaniel Ogle of Kirkley Hall, North- umberland ? Dalton (vol. v. part ii. p. 12) says that the latter was the junior of the two physicians of the hospital at the battle of Blenheim, and received a bounty of 45Z., March, 1705, and that he died in 1736. He, however, falls into error by saying he was '*' father of Sir Chaloner Ogle, Knt., Admiral of the Fleet, who was created a Baronet," having, like others, confused the two admirals of the same name. I think Debrett's ' Baronetage of England,' edited by Geo. Wm. Collen, 1840, corrects the mistakes by the following pedigree :

" Henry Ogle of Kirkley (by tradition a lineal descendant of William Ogle, third son of Sir Robert Ogle, and brother of Robert, 1st Lord Ogle, sum- moned to Parliament 1461) died 1581, leaving a son and heir Cuthbert, of Kirkley, who d. 1655, leaving a son and heir John. This John Ogle of Kirkley "had two sons : 1, Ralph, who died May, 1705, leav- ing with others a younger son Nathaniel Ogle, M.I)., of Kirkley, who died 1739, leaving (1) Nathaniel ^2) Newton, Dean of Winchester, (3) Sir Chaloner Ogle, Admiral of the Red, created a Baronet 1816, -and (4) Isabella, married 1737 to her cousin, Admiral

of the Fleet Sir Chalondr Ogle, Knt. John Ogle of Kirkley's second son was John Ogle, barrister-at- law, and Judge of the Court of Admiralty at New- castle, who married Mary, daughter of Richard Braithwaite of Warcop, Westmorland, and died March, 1740 (Oent. Mag.), leaving a son Sir Chaloner Ogle, of Twickenham, knighted May, 1723 ; then High Sheriff of Hants ; proxy for Viscount Glen- orchy, M.P.,, when installed K.B. 17 June, 1725; was with Admiral Vernon at the attack upon Carthagena, and succeeded him in the command there 1742, and was M.P. Rochester Nov., 1746, till he died s.p. 11 April. 1750, having had 'above 50 years' service.' "

THE ROYAL ARMS : A METRICAL DESCRIP- TION (12 S. ii. 502 ; hi. 57). The metrical description given at the first reference, or rather the major part of it, appears, with variations, in the ' Encyclopaedia of Heraldry, or General Armory of England, Scotland, and Ireland,' by John and John Bernard Burke, third edition, 1844, third page of signature e, otherwise ninth page after p. xxvi. The heading is :

" The Royal Ensigns deduced metrically from the Northmen, or Normans, who vanquished England in the year of our Lord 1066, to the Union with Scotia, or Scotland, six hundred and forty years after, and observations thereupon."

Then follows this note :

" This Paper, endorsed as above, was found in the bureau of an Amateur Herald of some con- sideration in his own times."

It is to be regretted that his name is not given. As COL. FYNMORE (ante, p. 57) quotes from the third edition, undated, of the ' General Armory,' and I quote from the third edition, dated 1844, and in view of differences to which I shall refer, it would appear that there were two "third editions.' The endorsements in the two differ. In what may be called the earlier edition there is nothing about " to the Union of Scotia, or Scotland, six hundred and forty years after." The note in the earlier ends with " recently deceased," for which two words appears in the later or dated edition " in his own times."

The earlier edition gives thirty verses or stanzas, of which the last is :

The Stewarts fell the leaves do fall, &c. In the later (dated 1844) there are six more stanzas :

King William cross'd the bourn's bound

Where kings and subjects go : At Limerick for faith renown'd,

For mercy at Glencoe. And Anne did rule, a glorious queen,

So martial poets sing ; And bear the shield as it hath been, When James the First was king.
