Archaeologia cantiana . itz Helte seems to have been suc-ceeded by grandchildren; and, if so, was probably old at thetime of his death. Even if he were then no older than seventy,he was not born after 1110. This will readily allow for oneowner only between himself and Ansgotus, and that one mayhave been his father, Helto. Be this as it may, we have, atall events, an unbroken series of evidence, from the presentday up to 1170, incontestably proving the ownership ofAldington during the whole of that period, a space of nearlyseven hundred years. One word more as to the coheirs of William Fit

One word more as to the coheirs of William Fitz Helte. Itwill be observed that, among the witnesses to his grant ofAldington Church, are Hugh de Cirintunia, and Walter deChanci. May not these two have been husbands of two of hisdaughters, and, by them, fathers of his coheirs, William deCyreton and Amerid de Canci ; and may not his other coheir,Emma, the wife of Setvans, have been also his daughter ? Weadvance these conjectures merely as suggestive queries. L. B. 1,
