NOTES AND QUERIES.

CARTWRICHT FAMILY : LABRADOR AND NEWFOUNDLAND. I should much like to get information about the following members of this very interesting family, who had much to do with Labrador and Newfound- land : Major George Cartwright, his brother John, R.N., and Miss Cartwright, who wrote the Life of the major, 1826. The major's journal was published in 1792.

GILT WAND. Can any reader throw light on the probable history of a wand which may be described as follows ? A wooden roller about 3 ft. long, with a diameter of 1 inch ; about 3| in. of black paint at each end, the remainder gilt ; bears the arms of the Earl Marshal, under which is the figure 8. It is believed to have been carried in the Coronation procession of Queen Victoria.

M.

PARKINSON FAMILY. I should be glad to know how John Parkinson the botanist, born 1567, was connected with the Parkinsons, settled at an early date at Gunness (see Kirton Court Rolls), and afterwards at Scunthorpe, 1595.

John Parkinson of Asgarby inherited the old family property at Gunness, which he sold about 1775. J. HEALD WARD.

" THE DERBY BLUES." Can any one give any particulars of this corps, which is said to have been raised (presumably as a volunteer troop of horse) in 1745, and disbanded the

PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART. Could any fellow-beneficiary of ' N. & Q.' name the author of an eighteen-stanza poem on Prince Charles Edward Stuart, apparently written in 1746, and beginning,

Awhile forget the scene of war ? It figures anonymously in Macquoid's ' Jacobite Songs,' 1887, pp. 250-52.

WADDINGHAM FAMILY OF YORKSHIRE. I am seeking data pertaining to the family of Waddingham, near Beverley, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, since the year 1800, and may extend my studies to an earlier period. To that- family belonged my late mother-in-law, Mrs. John Denton, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Waddingham

She was born at Hotham, in Yorkshire, in j instantly killed."

1835, and died in Chicago in 1900. See my Denton Family Notes ' in Yorkshire Notes and Queries (Bradford) for August, 1908.

Did the family of WadAingham have its origin in Yorkshire or in Lincolnshire ? In Burke' s ' Landed Gentry,' twelfth edition of Guyting Grange, co. Gloucester, which traces from Thomas Waddingham of South Ferriby, Lincolnshire (fl. 1799). It may be of some significance that South Ferriby is in the northern extremity of Lincolnshire, and therefore close to the south bank of the Humber. This close proximity to the East Riding of Yorkshire may be a useful clue to follow.
 * i914), p. 1920, is a pedigree of Waddingham

The General Index to the Sixth Series of ' N. & Q.' gives a reference (i. 96) regarding two churches in Wadingham, Lincolnshire. Is it safe to infer that the village last mentioned gave its name to the family or families to which this present query relates ?

I should be grateful for any information pertaining to the family of Waddingham in Yorkshire, and particularly for the names and addresses of any living members or descendants thereof.

BROOKE ROBINSON OF DUDLEY. Can. any one tell me where I can obtain a genealogical book by Brooke Robinson of Dudley containing the ancestry of himself, and six branches of his family ? He had 30 copies printed, and gave away 19 to relatives ; the remaining 11 found their way (I am told by the publishers, Messrs. Nichols & Sons) to public libraries.

" ROUGH " AS HOUSE-NAME. I have lately noticed the use of the word " Rough ' as part of the name of houses in Surrey m the neighbourhood of Guildford and Hasle- mere. Two such names are Piccard's Rough, near Guildford, and High Rough, near Haslemere. Can this local usage be ex- plained ?

At 11 S. viii. 444, in one of MR. PAGES articles on ' Statues arid Memorials in Great Britain, 1 the following reference to the word occurs :

"On 19 July, 1873, Dr. Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop of Winchester, and the late Earl Gramalle were out riding together, and had reached a lonely spot known as Evershed's Rough, about four mile from Dorking, on the road 10 Guildford. In Bishop's horse stumbled, he was thrown heavily to the ground, and, falling on his head, was
