_The Rothwell Family._--When William Flower, Esq., Norroy, confirmed
the ancient arms of this family to Stephen Rothwell, gent., of Ewerby,
county of Lincoln, on the 1st April, 1585, and granted a crest (no such
being found to his ancient arms), the said Stephen Rothwell was stated to
be "ex sui cognominis familia antiqua in comitatu Lancastriæ oriundus."
Can any of the readers of "N. & Q." give any information respecting the
family from which he is stated to be descended?
