Devon and Cornwall Notes and Queries. 57 52. Newton Ferrers: Error in Cal. Inq. 10 Edw. III. (IX., p. 6, par. 7). — The Record OfiBce identification is probably quite correct. Besides the better-known Newton Ferrers in Devon, there is another Newton Ferrers near CaUington in Cornwall, both deriving their name from the same Nich. de Ferrariis. The latter place was the residence of the late Digby Collins, Esq. A. C. 53. Calendars of Devon and Cornwall Wills and Administrations. — This volume, issued by the Devon. Assoc, in igo8, is a most valuable contribution to the study of West Country genealogy. I have recently had occasion to look through the first 215 pages of it very thoroughly and have in consequence noted several points which may be classed as Corrigenda, Addenda et " Inquirenda." On page 39 (1677) we have the name Lemreth given ; this should be l^anreth.. It looks as if the writer of the copy for the printer wrote his au, his em and an in an indistinguishable manner. In few things is legible writing more necessary than in the copying of old documents. It is especially necessary in the case of u and n that they should be distinct and unmistakable. E«dellion in this volume is quite often printed Ei/dellion. Page 41 (1702) has the entry Collier, Thomas, Elizabeth, the latter word is presumably a mistake for the name of Collier's parish. Page 124 (1684) Marshal], Digory, St. Gummyns, is presumably St. Germans or St. Gerrans. A reference to the Collectanea Cornubiensia would clear up this point. Unfortunately I have not the volume by me just now. Page 181 (1782) Symons, Henry, Lithney. This should surely be Sithney. Page 185, Tregoman I opine should be Tregonnan, a name to be met with in several parishes in Cornwall, whereas Tregoman is entirely "un-Cornish." Page 205. Twice on this page occurs the words Hatherley in Phil. Though White was quite a common name in Phillack there is no such place name as Hatherley in that parish, nor do I think there is such a name in Philleigh. Does Phil, stand for Buckland Filleigh ? Page 207 (1712) has Weymouth, Samuel, W^eymouth^ this is possibly quite right, but I " hae ma doots."
