st daughter of Oliver
Cromwell, was married first to Ireton, who died 26 November, 1651,

p. 343 _Lady Cromwell._ Cromwell married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir
James Bourchier, 22 August, 1620. She survived her husband seven

St. Clement Danes, Strand, being in a ruinous condition, was pulled
down in 1680 and built again on the same site. The Puritans always

'Mary's', 'Bartholomew's', 'Helen's' and the like.
