NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s.m. JULY. 1917.

CARR : DOUGLAS OF CARR. My family holds the baronetcy conferred in 1711 on Charles Douglas, son of Charles Douglas of Kinglassie, Fifeshire, and the description as given in Debrett is " Douglas of Carr." I have not been able to find from family records or from the Heralds' College any information as to what or where " Carr " is. Sir Charles descended from Sir William of Lochleven. Possibly one of your readers may have knowledge of such matters and be able to assist me. J. S. DOUGLAS.

" MALBROOK S'EN VA-T-EN GUERRE." I should be grateful if any reader would be so kind as to enable me to see an English version of the old historical French song relating to the Duke of Marlborough. The French version, which begins with the line " Malbrough s'en va-t-en guerre," is printed on p. 272 in ' La Lyre francaise,' by Gustave Masson, published by Macmillan & Co., and the date assigned to it is 1709.

LEES KNOWLES, Bt.

4 Park Street, W.I.

[' Malbrook,' was discussed at 10 S. viii. 327, 435 ; ix. 75, 158 ; but no English translation was mentioned.]

WILLIAM JONES, AUTHOR OF ' FINGER- RING LORE,' LONDON, 1877. I believe that he is deceased. I am anxious to obtain information about him. Are any of his relatives living ? and where ? Who has his effects, or can any of the books that he owned be traced ? GEORGE F. KUNZ.

New York City.

JANE AUSTEN : ' PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.'

- 1. Have Lambton and Pemberley in

' Pride and Prejudice ' ever been identified ?

2. Is " Bakewell," mentioned towards the

end of chap, xliii., a slip of^the pen for

" Lambton " ? J. H. C.

JANE AUSTEN : A CONTINUATION. A novel was published some years ago in which the characters were those of Jane Austen's books. The story was supposed to give their subsequent adventures. I have heard that the hero was William Price, and the heroine Georgiana Darcy, and that James Morland was the clergyman whom Kitty Bennet married. I shall be obliged if any one can give me the name cf the book and of its author. M. H. DODDS.

WEST : DE MORGAN : BANNERMAN : TURING. Required particulars of the birth and parents of Anne West, who was daughter of Capt. James West, A.D.C. (son of John West of Thame, Oxon, by his wife Anne de

Morgan), and wife c. 1795 of Col. John Alexander Banner man of the Madras N.I., and at one time Governor of Penang. I shall also be glad of particulars of the parents of the said Col. Bannerman, viz. the Rev. David Bannerman and Jane Turing.

H. C. SURTEES, Brig. -General.

WILKINSON OF THORPE. Who was the mother of James Wilkinson cf Thorpe, co. York, son of Christopher Wilkinson of Thorpe-on-Tees, c. 1709 ?

The pedigree of Wilkinson cf Kirkbrigg and Thorpe is given in Surtees's ' History of Durham,' but lacks this detail.

H. C. SURTEES, Brig. -General.

Carlton Club.

" MRS. MAY DRUMMOND " : PORTRAIT. I have a portrait in oils lettered as above. From the costume I judge it to be between 1780 and 1795.

I should be very glad if some corre- spondent could tell me anything about this lady : her maiden name ; the Christian name of her husband, and to which branch of the Drummond family he belonged ; when she died ; and if she left any de- scendants. It has occurred to me, how- ever, that the " Mrs." may be a courtesy title. JOHN LANE.

The Bodley Head, Vigo Street, W.

COL. DUNCOMBE. In Masson's ' Life of Milton ' there is quoted from a MS. of Aubrey the following reference to Alexander Gill, the High Master under whom Milton was a schoolboy at St. Paul's :

" Often Dr. Gill whipped Buncombe, who was afterwards a Colonel of Dragoons at Edgchill fight." .

Can any reader of ' N. & Q.' give me any further information about Col. Duncombe ? Gill was High Master of St. Paul's from 1608 to 1635. One Peter Duncombe, who may possibly have been of the colonel's family, was a scholar of St. Paul's School in or before 1573.

MICHAEL F. J. MCDONNELL.

Bathurst, Gambia, British West Africa.

ROGER GOAD (Provost of King's College, Cambridge, 1570) made a will Jan. 9, 1606/7, and died April 24, 1610. ' Athense Cantabrigienses ' (vol. iii.) states that six of his sons were elected from Eton to King's College, viz., Matthew (in 1591) ; Thomas (1592) ; Robert (1594) ; Roger (1601) ; Christopher (1607) ; Richard (1610). As there is no mention of Robert and Roger in
