of Oxford, by whom he had the nobleman who was the father of thefe children. He alfo had two wives, Penelope, fole daughter and heir to fir Robert Naunton, knt. mafter of the court of Wards and Liveries, widow of Paul, vifcount Banning, by whom he had an only fon, William, who fucceeded him. His fecond wife was the mother of the children whofe baptifms are here given ; me was Catherine, daughter of fir William Villiers of Brookefby, in the county of Leicefter, bart. Their iiFue, befides the above children,, were Thomas, and Ann who died an infant. The Philip mentioned as baptized Jan. 5, 1652, fucceeded to the family honours upon the death of his half brother, William, earl of Pembroke, &c. I fhall not particularize what was the hiftory of the others, as it is done by Mr. Collins in his peerage, who alfo has given their bap- tifms from this regifter. It appears from thefe infertions that at the fame time, two noble- men of high rank refided in this fmall parifh, and in the heart of the city. I do not know the exacl; ipot ; but from the many chil- dren mentioned of the earl of Pembroke he mufl have made it his comtant town refidence ; and we muft fuppofe it was alfo of the earl of Caernarvon, for had he had more children, it is moft rea- fonable to fuppofe we fliould have had their baptifms regiftered there, had they been born in London. As the earls of Caernarvon and Pembroke, who refided in this parifh, were brothers-in-law, and as one was cut .off in 1643, and the baptifms of the other's children do not commence until 1651, it feems not improbable but that the earl of Pembroke might purchafe or hire the houfe of the executors of the earl of Caernarvon, during the minority of that nobleman's Ton, and continue to rent it for fome years after he be- came of age ; but the facl is not fo ; each had his own houfe. That they both had their chaplains in their houfes is highly pro- bable by thefe extrads from the regifters. 3 " Mr.
