 12 s. ix. NOV. 26, i92i.] NOTES AND QUERIES. 435 TUDOR TREVOR (12 S. ix. 290, 334, 377, 414). The descent of the Jeffreys of Acton from Tudor Trevor will be found in Burke's ' Dormant and Extinct Peerage,' under be glad to know how Hugh Roberts of Havod-y-Cwch, Co. Denbigh, named in the same memoir, was descended from Griffith ap Jorwerth, and so from Tudor Trevor. Lewis Dwnn's ' Visitations of Wales ' is a very helpful book for Welsh pedigrees, but exceedingly difficult for English gene- alogists to understand. W.G. O. FLETCHER, F.S.A. Oxon Vicarage, Shrewsbury. RUDGE FAMILY (12 S. ix. 311, 395). A^short notice of the Rev. James Rudge was also printed in the Children's Pocket Magazine for 1819, with portrait pub- lished by Whittemore of Paternoster Row. A list of his works is given. I have a mezzotint portrait of Rudge which a former owner has carefully trimmed so that there is no clue to the engraver or date of publi- cation and I shall be glad to have informa- tion. The portrait (oval) is 9 by 8J. ROLAND AUSTIN, Gloucester. CROFT' (12 S. ix. 371). The 'Private Papers ' are not to be taken as strictly auto- biographical, but they contain references to certain passages in the writer's life. I have not the book at hand, but I recollect that some of the incidents of early school life were drawn from Gissing's experience at Lindow Grove, Alderley Edge, where I was a fellow-pupil. AJRTHUR BOWES. Your correspondent should read ' The Private Life of Henry Maitland,' by Morley Roberts. It is a biography of Gissing, but the names are fictitious. It would be interesting to know in what class librarians catalogue it, for it can harldy be termed fiction. It will be a puzzling book to the next generation. W. E. WILSON. Hawick. ENGLISH WRITERS : DATES OF BIRTH AND DEATH (12 S. ix. 371). W. H. Daven- port Adams was born in London, May 5, 1828, and died at Wimbledon. December 30, 1891. ARCHIBALD SPARKE. Anne, Lady Fraser-Tytler, died 1896. W. H. Davenport Adams, b. 1829, d. 1891. JOHN B. WAINE WRIGHT. PRINCIPAL LONDON COFFEE-HOUSES, TAVERNS AND INNS IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY ( 12 S. vii. 485 ; ix. 85, 105, 143, 186, 226, 286, 306, 385, 426). A correction should be made in MR. J. PAUL DE CASTRO'S most comprehensive and valuable list. The famous Prince of Orange Coffee- house, known colloquially as the " Orange," stood at the south-east corner of the Hay- market, facing His Majesty's Theatre, or Opera House, which occupied the site of the present Carlton Hotel. See ' Recol- lections of John O'Keefe,' ii. 22. I have a note on this tavern at 11 S. v. 123. HORACE BLEACKLEY. SIGNORA SARTORIS (12 S. ix. 388). The pedigree of Sartoris of Rushden, which contains the marriage mentioned by MR. BLEACKLEY, does not go far enough back to answer his query. HARMATOPEGOS. CULCHETH HALL (12 S. ix. 291, 336, 358, 395). It is possible that there are many still living in whose veins runs the blood of the Culcheths. I possess a few notes upon various members of this family compiled by a relative of mine who was in the office of the Town Clerk of Wigan from 1831 to 1837. The Culcheths of Abram were a younger branch of the Culcheth family, and their names constantly appear in the Re- cusant Rolls. Another branch were at Goose Green near Wigan. Upon a stone tablet in the gable end of their residence there, fronting to the roadside, remains still plain to be read to-day the inscription " Leigh and Elizabeth Culcheth, 1717." Here is a very fine old brick-built barn with stone pilasters and door and window mould- ings. Leigh as a Christain name was adopted by members of the Anderton family of Lostock, Wigan, and Ince. My notes refer also to Culcheths who resided in Wigan early last century. One of these lived in Wallgate and was known as Culcheth. But another, a lawyer, married to a Miss Knight, daughter of a local cattle- dealer, went under the name of Culshaw. Their son went to a Catholic college in Spain, but sustaining a broken leg in a fall from a donkey, and the bad setting of the same, he returned home, and later entered a linen- draper's shop kept by a person who had also married a Miss Knight. My notes contain further details of this family and the tragic end of one of them. His diary after- wards came into the possession of my in- formant. He names the circumstances of
