_Carr Pedigree_ (Vol. vii., pp. 408. 512.).--W. ST. says that William Carr

married Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Sing, Bishop of Cork. The name is

Synge, not Sing. The family name was originally Millington, and was changed

to Synge by Henry VIII. or Queen Elizabeth, on account of the sweetness of

the voice of one of the family, who was a clergyman, and the ancestor of

George Synge, Bishop of Cloyne; Edward Synge, Bishop of Ross; Edward Synge,

Archbishop of Tuam; Edward Synge, Bishop of Leighlin and Ferns; Nicholas

Synge, Bishop of Killaloe; the late Sir Samuel Synge Hutchinson, Archdeacon

of Killala; and of the present Sir Edward Synge.

I cannot find that any of these church dignitaries had a daughter married

to Wm. Carr. Nicholas Synge, Bishop of Killaloe, left a daughter,

Elizabeth, who died unmarried in 1834, aged ninety-nine; but I cannot

discover that either of the other bishops of that family had a daughter

Elizabeth.
