a son, Ralph, born too previously (ibid., father in law." He made his wife executrix, p. 423); and she was dead by 1531. In his without mentioning her name. By the will, however, William does not say that visitations-apparently in error, however— any of his children are by either wife. she was Elizabeth, daughter of Walter "William Trout beck, knight: to bury in Wrottesley, knight; she is said to have died my chapel of S.

George, ninth Earl of Shrewsbury. That suggests that the executrix lived till about 1580; which is no proof that she was not born by 1502.

The immediate question, however, is in what sense does Talbot call Richard Trutbək his father-in-law? The description was often used with much laxity-it may at any time cover a stepfather-here it can only mean the father of the testator's wife or her Though the children were named in the stepfather or his own stepfather. Predeeds, none are named in the will; therefore sumably it cannot mean a husband of the it is manifest they were all born by 1508, testator's mother, if she had married first and it might follow also that none of them Barton, second Talbot, and third Richard had died by 1510. Since the executors Gardiner, Lord Mayor of London in 1478, the relict and her agnate Thomas who was dead in 1488/9, thus leaving it quite Hoghe, the interests of her issue might improbable that either she or any final husseem to be safeguarded, and presumably the Bishop of Ely will be able to supervise. But what became of these children; what were the manors and all the lands in Cheshire : and by what date does the remainder to right heirs convey anything to Margaret, the wife of John Talbot, or to her representative? Moreover, that is not quite the last question.

are

At the death of her uncle William in 1510,

the last-named Margaret is said to be aged 16 and already Talbot's wife; therefore the statement is that she was born about 1494. Her mother, Adam's wife, was another Margaret, expressly called daughter of “ Sir John Butler of Bewsey," namely, the guardian, as above, of William the heir, Adam's elder brother. When John Talbot of Grafton died in 3 Edward VI., Sept. 10, 1549, he left a will (P.C.C., 40 Populwell) whereof he appoints as overseer Richard Trutbek

my

band could be still alive 60 years later, in 1549. If, then, that lady was really this Talbot's mother, and Richard consequently no husband of hers, he must be in some sense the father of the testator's wife, namely, of one of his wives. In that case is it to be another wife, in between the Margaret of his youth and the executrix of his will, or is Elizabeth

Wrottesley" daughter of some Richard Trutbek: or is that Richard to re

present the father of the first wife? Under contradicts the juries at the inquisitions, that superficial explanation, the testator whose authority is liable to be quite as good as his own. The further possibility that one of the wives is apparently even more Richard may be no more than stepfather to

difficult.

As a simple alternative, perhaps, the pedigrees are a little wrong somewhere both of them. The hints that a generation of Talbot has been dropped out are plain enough, if misleading. Equally obvious is the indication that Richard will be one of the children of William Troutbeck; but, if so, by which marriage? therefore now nearing or past 60 ? Was he born by 1491" and Manifestly he is not born after that year if it is to be his daughter who was born about 1494, as

It seemed lamentable that whilst the Imperial Graves Commission was devoting such loving care to the graves of our gallant soldiers who fell in France and Flanders, this old Naval and Military Cemetery in the West Indies should be so sadly neglected. Sir John Butcher, Bart., K.C., M.P.,

above. Clearly Richard is no alias for Adam tombstones and crosses shattered and if Adam was dead during William's lifetime, overturned, while the brick graves showed namely, 40 years before. Plainly there is unmistakable evidence of having been wild confusion somewhere; the record rifled of some of their contents. evidence at the two ends of this artless tale can by no means be reconciled with the pedigree professing to connect them. Richard, of course, could explain, but unfortunately one has not elsewhere met with Richard in any capacity. Neither has one been able to find any person able to bear the description "father-in-law" in 1549. Who, then, was this Richard, at the first mention very kindly took the matter up at my appointed overseer, and later on described only by his relationship in the bequest to my father in law two of my best colts " ? It seems that Richard's daughter must be the unnamed executrix, viz., the last wife of the testator: it would be no surprise to find Richard himself and Margaret, the daughter of Adam, much about of an age, the while he looks so like one of the "children," and a son of Margaret Hough. If that were so, he would be one of the beneficiaries under the alleged deeds; but those are described to cover only Cheshire lands, thus leaving it still open to discussion how or if Margaret the daughter of Adam brought the Salop property of Albrighton to this John Talbot, who in his will calls himself "of Grafton," and says nothing about Albrighton.

The search for Richard, obviously the first line of inquiry, has not been wholly fruitless: there was one Richard Trowtbecke who left a will, registered at Lichfield under the date 1552 (series iii. 49). Hitherto opportunity has not offered to consult that record. If any inquirer can furnish an abstract of it, it will be possible to see whether that testator says anything about the several sons and daughters of John, who may have been Richard's grandchildren, since they were clearly children of the executrix.

As a result, the Colonial Office has obtained from the various West Indian Governments a series of reports regarding the cemeteries containing naval and military From these it would appear that graves. while in several colonies care has been taken to maintain the graveyards, in others nothing has been done in this direction for years, the reason perhaps being that the War Office, under whose control some of them are, has lost touch with the West
