The Birthplace of St. Patrick (Vol. v., p. 344.)
is fully discussed by DR. ROCK at the end of a small work entitled Did the Early Church in Ireland acknowledge the Pope's Supremacy? Perhaps CEYREP may think his question met by the authorities set forth in the above-named book.

Family of Grey (Vol. v., p. 298.).
—I am much obliged by the answer to part of my Query; but I should be very glad to know the name of the lady Thomas, second brother of the Marquis of Dorset, married, and who was mother by him of Margaret, wife of John Astley,[7] Master of the Jewels to Queen Elizabeth.

Edward Bagshaw (Vol. v., p. 298.).
—W. B. inquires whether Sir Edward Bagshaw, of Finglas, left other children besides two daughters; which two he describes as married to Ryves and Burroughs respectively? and whether Castle-Bagshaw, in the co. Cavan, took its name from this branch of the family, with any other information concerning this Sir Edward?
I have looked into my Cavan MS. Collections, and I find from them that Sir Edward Bagshaw had been, so far as I can at present see, an adventurer of Cromwell's introduction, debentured on lands of Cavan, viz. Callaghan, Tirgromley, Derrychill, Timhowragh, and seventeen other denominations, which were thereupon erected into the manor of Castlebagshaw, and whereon he built a castle: such I suppose the origin of the manor and castle. It is more certain, and indeed on proof before me, that he had one daughter named Anne, and married before 1654 to Thomas Richardson, of Dublin, Esq., who, having paid 600l. to Sir Edward, he, for that consideration, and for the marriage, granted all the premises to Richardson in fee, who assigned them in 1661 to four different persons. One of these assignees was Ambrose Bedell, a son of the celebrated William Bedell, Bishop of Kilmore and Ardagh. Sir Edward Bagshaw died about 1661, possibly just previous to this partition. His latter days were I think passed at Finglas, in the description of which locality, in my History of the Co. Dublin, I find this apposite notice (p. 371.): "Under the communion table are flat tombstones of very ancient date, to the families of Bagshaw and Ryves;" but their position precluded my decyphering their evidence. Of the family of Bagshaw I have in my Genealogical Collections various notices, as well in this country as in Derbyshire and Staffordshire.
