NOTES AND QUERIES. [11 s. vi. NOV. ie, 1912.
ATKYNS FAMILY (US. ii. 429, 474; v.
448 ; vi. 137). The following entries relat-
ing to the Atkyns family in the Parish
Registers of Sapperton and Nether Swell,
both in Gloucestershire, may be useful for
supplementing existing biographical notices.
The manor of Sapperton was purchased by
Sir Robert Atkyns the elder in 1660, and
that of Nether Swell in 1659. I have to
acknowledge permission given by the Rector
of Sapperton for access to the registers there,
and also the kindness of the Rev. T. A.
Garnett in giving me every facility for
transcribing the entries from the Register
of Nether Swell. This Register, which has
suffered much from fire, commences in
1678, and that of Sapperton in 1662.
