kny mention of such use of the toad as that

of Richard Smith, Esq., of Islington, co.
Middlesex. The latter is the reputed mother
of Lady Lauderdale. To prove this can
any reader give date of either of these
marriages ? What is the inscription on
Anthony Todd's gravestone at Waltham-
stow ? What is the date of the marriage
contract between Anthony Todd and Anne
Robinson mentioned at the second reference
above ? J. W. FAWCETT.
Consett, co. Durham.
DEACON IN LOVE (12 S. v. 42). It has occurred to me that if the comma were placed after the word " Deacon," instead of after the word " love," the meaning of jhe sentence would become obvious at once. The chantry is stated to have been well endowed ; and the deacon was admitted bo office in the church in charity.

EDWARD HYDE, D.D. (12 S. v. 69). Edward Hyde was rector of Brightwell, and died in 1658. His mother was Barbara Castilion of Benham Valence, Berks, and she died in 1641.
She was descended from " Johanna Baptista Castilion " (sic), who was of a Piemontese family, originally of Dogliani, the name being Castiglione, from the place so called near Turin. He was granted the manors of Wood-Speen and Benham Valence in 1565 by Queen Elizabeth "for his faith- ful services to her in her ^troubles " ; and in the church at Speen, the south aisle of which is called " Castillion," there is an altar -tomb with his effigy in armour, as also one to Dame Elizabeth Castilion, wife of his son Sir Francis Castilion, who died in 1603. John Baptist's father was Sir Peter Castillion of Mantua. The present repre- sentative of the family is II Conte di Cas- tiglione Faletto. CONSTANCE RUSSELL.
Swallowfield, Reading.
Edward Hyde, baptized in Salisbury Cathedral May 12. 1606, was the seventh of the twelve sons of Laurence Hyde and Barbara Castilian his wife. There is a pedigree of the Castilian family in The Genealogist, vol. xvii. p. 74. She was a daughter of John Baptiste Castilian of Benham, Berks ; her sister Ann married Laurence Hyde's elder brother Robert.
Edward Hyde married Anne, daughter of Thomas Lambert, and had two daughters : Margaret, who married William Hearst, and Anna, who married Richard Coleman. See Wilts Notes and Queries, vol. vi; p. 435.
