AL belonged to one of the oldest and most highly respected of the Cumberland families . The name itself is said to have been derived from the Roman wall of Hadrian ; and we learn that the family were seated at Dykesfield before the Norman Conquast . On the female side , the family are descended from the Plantagenets . Another noted
ancestor ivas Thomas Dykes , who ivas n devoted Royalist , and was present at the battle of Marston Moor . After the defeat of tbe Royalists , he concealed himself in a largo mulberry tree in front of his house at Ward Hall , where food was conveyed to him by his wife and daughter .

to the welfare of the county with which was so intimately connected . As a magistrate he was eminent for the kindliness of his demeanour , and in the case of any one brought before the bench , whom he believed to be more sinned against than sinning , he never failed to show his sympathy . As showing his deep interest in ai'c ' . aeological studies , it may he mentioned that a few years ago he made a careful survey of the old Roman road from Papcastle to Maryporr , the whole route being carefully mapped ;
and to this tho Ordnance Survey were indebted for much invaluable information . The deceased Prov . G . AL married , in ISM , Anne Eliza , eldest surviving daughter of J .

The deceased Prov . G .
