ERNEST JONES (8 th S. xii. 429, 458, 470).
My attention has been directed to an inquir
as to my father, Ernest Jones, the Chartist
whom he married, and whether his wife wa
related to Mr. Thomas Milner Gibson, M.P
Mr. Ernest Jones married, in 1841, Mis
Atherley, daughter of Edmund Gibson Ather
ley, the son of Thomas Gibson, of Barfielc
in the county of Cumberland. My grand
father assumed his mother's name, Atherley
The Gibsons of Barfield were the same stod
as the Gibsons of Quernmore, near Lancaster
whose property passed by sale to a family bj
name Garnett. My grandfather Atherle 1
married Miss Stanley, of Ponsonby Hall
Cumberland, by whom he had issue one
daughter, my mother. The Gibsons of Bar
field are extinct. So far as I know, Mr. Milne ]
Gibson was in no way related to my grand
father. L. A. ATHERLEY-JONES.
There is not much difficulty in answering this question; the difficulty is to take up any book of biography that does not give it See the references in F. Boase's ' Modern English Biography,' vol. iL 1897, under "Charles Ernest Jones," or the 'Dictionary of National Biography.'
I happen to have the following pamphlets, obtained at the time of his death, as my father and Jones were friends :
The life and death of Ernest Jones, the Chartist reformer. A memoir [by Atherley- Jones]. Man- chester, Heywood [1869].
Ernest Jones, who was he ? What has he done ? Manchester, Heywood [1868].
On this, in Mr. W. E. A. Axon's writing, is, " By James Crossley, accountant."
Life and labours of Ernest Jones, Esq., poet, politician, and patriot, by the author of 'The life of Lord Palmerston.' [Portrait.] London, Farrah,
When I say that this is by George Jacob Holy-
oake I hardly need give it any praise. It is
in his usual trenchant and interesting style,
and full of information. KALPH THOMAS.
The diary of Ernest Jones is preserved at the Manchester Free Reference Library. I have taken the following extract from it :
"1841. Married to Jane, 15th June, dashing wedding, St. George's, Hanover Square. Spent a fortnight at Richmond, then came home to the new house, 33, Upper Montague St., Montague Square." In a short life of Ernest Jones by Mr. F. Leary it is stated that Jane was the daugh- ter of Gibson Atherley, Esq., Barfield, Cum-
berland, and niece to Edward Stanley,
Esq., of Ponsonby Hall, Carnforth. Barfield
is in the parish of Whitbeck, Western Cum-
berland. Mrs. Jones died early in the year
1857. RICHARD LAWSON.

MARGARET, COUNTESS OP RICHMOND (8 th S. xii. 405). The funeral sermon on the occa- sion of the burial of the Countess in Westminster Abbey, preached by Bishop Fisher, was first printed by Wynkyn de Worde, and afterwards republished by Thomas Baker, Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge, author of 'Reflections upon Learning.' He was an eminent antiquary. The title-page of the published sermon runs thus :
" The Funeral Sermon of Margaret, Countess of Richmond and Derby, Mother of King Henry VII., Foundress of Christ's and St. John's College in Cambridge, with a Preface containing some further Account of the Charities and Foundations, with a Catalogue of the Professors both at Cambridge and Oxford and of the Preachers at Oxford. London, Minted for A. Bosvile at the Dyal and Bible against St. Dunstan's Church in Fleet Street, 1708." The book contains some Latin verses which allude to the charitable foundation at West- minster mentioned in the note of the REV. JOHN PICKFORD. The Countess died 22 April, .509. The epitaph on her tomb is attributed to Erasmus. The charities of the Countess were numerous, including Westminster, Crow- and, Durham, and Charterhouse. The book las a page engraving of the arms of the Countess. HUBERT SMITH.
