85. _Roll Pedigree of Howard, of Great Howard, Co. Lancaster._--In 1826
an elaborate pedigree on vellum of the family of Howard, of Great
Howard, in Rochdale, deduced, authenticated, and subscribed by Sir
William Dugdale, about the year 1667, was in the possession of a
gentleman in Rochdale, lately deceased. He is supposed to have lent it
to some antiquarian friend, and its present _locale_ is unknown. As no
record of this singular document exists in the College of Arms, the
writer of this note would feel obliged by being permitted to have a copy
of the original for his Lancashire M.S. Collections.
