[Tudur Aled, so called on account of his residence on the banks of
the Aled, in the county of Denbigh, flourished about the year
1490, and was a friar of the Order of St. Francis. He wrote a
poetical account of the miracles reported to have been performed
at St. Winifred's Well, in the town of Holywell, as well as the
life of that saint. He was also one of the followers of Sir Rhys
ab Thomas, of Dinevor in Carmarthenshire, and wrote several poems
in praise of his great achievements. Some of our Cambrian readers
can probably state where his pieces are to be found.]
_Tonges of Tonge._--Can any of your Lancashire correspondents furnish me
with information respecting the genealogy and family history of the
Tonges of Tonge, near Middleton in that county? This family appears to
have been of some consideration at an early period, and to have become
extinct at the commencement of the last century.
