 136 NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. vm. FEE, 12, 1021. PAUL MARNY (12 S. viii. 88). The following very fine pictures by this artist are still in my collection : (a) Tournay. (6) Tremouille Hotel, Paris. (c) Brighton Sands. My late father (Thomas Hughes, F.S.A., of Chester) had two others which he sold : (d) Fecamp Abbey. (e) Pont L'Eveque. Marny used to reside at Scarborough, but> if living, must be a very old man. T. CANN HUGHES, M.A., F.S.A. Lancaster. Paul Marny was a Frenchman by birth, but spent most of his life at Scarborough, where he died 1914, aged 85. He was first employed at the Sevres China works as a decorator. Early in life he came to Scar- borough and annually visited the Continent to secure views and sketches. E. E. LEGGATT. 62 Cheapside, E.C.2. LADY ANNE GRAHAM (12 S. viii. 70, 116). I doubt if her husband could have proved his descent from the Crahams of Dalkeith. That family ended in the middle of the fourteenth century in two heiresses, one of whom married into the Douglas family who held the estate until 1642 or so, when it was acquired by the Scotts who still hold it. It is Lady Anne's own history that is 'wanted, 1 know. But if one was sure who her husband was it ,.night simplify matters. J. L. ANDERSON. Edinburgh. MORGAN PHILLIPS OR PHILLIP MORGAN (12 S. viii.91). ' Alumni Oxonienses ' gives the following : " Morgan Philipps, died 1570 ; Catholic Divine ; native of Monmouthshire ; entered Oxford, 1533; Bector of Cuddington, Oxford, 1543 ; Principal of St. Mary's Hall, Oxford, 1545-6." MR. WILLIAMS may be able to identify him as being a member of the family of Morgan Wolf alias Philips, mentioned in Lyson's ' Environs ' as being the owners of the manors of Little Ilford, Leyton anc Woodford, in Essex in 1541. A genealogy of this family is given in the Visitation of Essex, under the name of Morgan Wolf of Gwerne (which I take to be a shortened form of Gwernesney, in Mon mouthshire). Two generations are referrec to in the genealogy as Philip Morgan whereas Lysons calls them Morgan Philips. WALTER H. PHILLIPS. Gillow in his ' Biographical Dictionary of" nglish Catholics,' vol. v. p. 303, says : " Morgan Phillips, divine, a native of Mon- mouthshire, and nephew of Henry Morgan, the ast Catholic bishop of St. David's, entered the Jniversity of Oxford in or about 1533, where, Wood says, ' he was commonly called Morgan he sophist er.' He was elected a fellow of Oriel! College, Apr. 17, 1538. He was rector of Cud- dington, principal of St. Mary's Hall, and one of he triumviri who publicly disputed agairst Peter Martyr. In 1549 he was presented to the vicarage f St. Winnock, Pembrokeshire. Through con- scientious motives he resigned his principalship of St. Mary's Hall in 1550 and shortly after the restoration of religion in 1553 he became pre- centor of St. David's Cathedral. Upon the accession of Elizabeth he was deprived ard with- drew to Louvain. In the autumn of 1567 he set out on a pilgrimage to Rome in the company of lis former pupil, William Allen, and of Dr.- Vendeville. He co-operated with Allen in establishing tb,e College at Douay, resided there ! rom its opening until his death, Aug. 18, 1570_ To Douay he left his' whole property." Gillow gives as sources for an account of his life : Bliss, Wood's ' Athen. Oxon.' ; Dodd, ' Ch. Hist.,' i. ; Foster, * Alum. Oxon.' ; Records of Eng. Caths. i., xxv.? xxx. i., 3, 5 ; Lewis, * Sanders Angl. Schism '; Bridgewater, ' Concertatio,' 1594, 404b. RORY FLETCHER. According to the 'D.N.B.,' which gives- his surname as Philipps or Philippes, he was a native of Monmouthshire. He cannot r strictly speaking, be called a founder of the English College at Douav. When Dr.- William Allen started the College in 1568 he had four English students of theology r and two Belgian. The writer of the First Diary, after recording their names, says : " Huic porro coetui continenter se adjuiixit D. Morgan us Philippus, venerabilis sacerdos, quondam ejusdem Alani in Universitate Oxoniensfc praeceptor, nunc vero ejus in hoc sancto opere et vivus coadjutor et moriens insignis benefactor." Then writing of the year 1570, he says : " Mortem, obiit eodem. anno die 18 August, praefatus Dominus Morganus Philippus, qur testamento suo D. Alanum unicum omnium suorum temporalium bonorum constituit haere- dem, bonam ei pecuniarum summam reliquens " (see T. F. Knox, ' Douay Diaries ' (London, 1878) r pp. 3, 5). Morgan Philipps took the degree of M.A. at Oxford in 1542, and was B.D. before 1546. He became Precentor of St. David's in 1554, and held two prebends at Exeter, and the livings of Harberton, Devon, and St. Winnocks, Pembrokeshire. He was de- prived of all these preferments soon after the accession of Queen Elizabeth, and was ;
