 12 S. VIII. MARCH 5, 1921.] NOTES AND QUERIES. 189 him from enquiries made regarding his reputed home, Edenderry House, Belfast have been unproductive ; although at the end of the eighteenth century there were Wilsons in that part of the world. Miss O' Flaherty is said to have had a son by Lord Castlereagh, who was born after his father had committed suicide,and after his mother had married Mr. Wilson. This son was named Joseph Wilson. But the supposition appears to be impossible, since Lord Castlereagh died in 1822, and Joseph was baptized in 1783. He lived in his latter years in Yorkshire, at Leeds and Beverley, died on Nov. 17, 1852, and was buried at Beverley. He was married twice, his first wife dying in July 1849 at Leeds. Joseph Wilson had at least one sister, Elizabeth, and two sons, Robert and Frede- rick, born respectively in 1820 and 1830. These sons were both clergymen. The latter was Vicar of St. James the Less, Philadelphia, in his earlier ecclesiastical years, and after a short though distinguished career, he died at Sledmere in Yorkshire, of which- place he was vicar, at the early age of 47. The elder brother, Robert, was a chaplain to the Forces, and also at the Penal Settlement at Botany Bay. He settled in Tasmania, where he had a numerous family. But he died at Scarborough in 1897. The two brothers were in America and Australia respectively when their father died, and as soon as they could do so, they came home to settle up his affairs. But meanwhile their step-mother, who had only been married to their father for two years, disappeared with all his papers and effects, and their efforts to trace her have been unavailing. The mystery of Miss O' Fla- herty's marriage thus remains. Perhaps some reader of 'X. & Q.' may be able to solve it. In the church at Oughterard (Ireland), is a marble tablet which records that "William Wilson, Executor of the late Miss Sarah Wilson of Belfast gave 700 towards the enlargement of the church, &c.," This tablet is dated 1852, and the names of the churchwardens appear upon the tablet, one of them being " Geo. F. O'Ffla- hertie, Esq." Can Miss Sarah Wilson have been one of the three daughters of Wilson the land agent, and Miss O'Flaherty ? RANGER. ST. JAMES'S, BURY ST. EDMUNDS. Can any reader send me a list of the incumbents of this church ? HAYDN T. GILES. 11 Kavensbourne Terrace, South Shields. CHEVAL OR CHEVALL FAMILY. Entries of this family which originated in Herts and Bucks, appear in the following London Church registers : All Hallows, Bread Street ; St. Mary's Aldermary ; St. Peter's,' Cornhill ; St. Michael's, Cornhill ; St. Helen's, Bishops- gate ; St. James', Clerkenwell, and St. George's, Chepel, Mayfair. There exist at present Chevall Place, S.W., and Cheval Street, E. Is there any connexion between the family and these names ? Have the church registers above mentioned been transcribed, and if so are copies obtainable ? Any assistance in tracing this family or any general inform aticn would be much appre- ciated. A. H. CHOVIL. Maison, Russell Road, Moseley, Birmingham. [See also 12 S. vii. 350. 458.] THOMAS CHUDLEIGH, ENVOYE TO THE HAGUE, 1682-85. I should like to find the Chudleigh letters to Sir Richard Bulstrode, Minister to Brussels during the period Chud- leigh was at the Hague. Chudleigh' s letters were written from the Hague and London, 1682, and from the Hague, 1683-85. There were ninety-one letters in the Chud- leigh collection and originally they were in the Le Froy collection; they were bought by John Waller, and when his collection was broken up, they were purchased by John E. Hodgkin who transcribed and annotated them. These letters are de- scribed by Hodgkin in his ' Rariora,' vol. i. p. 22. Hodgkin' s collection of MSS. was sold by Sotheby's in March-May, 1914. The Bulstrode collection was broken up, parts of it vere purchased by the British Museum, e.g., a few letters from Benj. Shelton to Bulstrode, &c., but I can find no trace of Chudleigh' s letters to Bulstrode. I should appreciate it very much if any one can inform me where these particular letters are to be found. F. A. MIDDLEBUSH. 1 Gordon Street, Gordon Square, W.C.I. GEORGE FRANK OF FRANKENAU. Can any reader give me any information about Georgius Francus de Frankenau, probably a physician either to George I. or George II. ? I have a small line engraved portrait of him, no engraver's name nor artist's. He is represented with a very full wig hanging over the left shoulder, and is dressed in a collegiate gown over a coat resembling a uniform with an elaborate lace insertion. What is particularly required is an account of his life and career. D. A. H. MOSES. 78 Kensington Park Road.
