BERRY, OF CATTON.

CREATED 12th Dec. 1806.-EXTINCT 13th Feb. 1831.

Lineage.

I. SIR EDWARD BERRY, of Catton, in the county of Norfolk, K.C.B. rear-admiral of the White, b. in 1768, was created a BARONET in 1806. He m. 12th December, 1797, Louisa, daughter of the Rev. Samuel Forster of Norwich, D.D. but had no issue,

This distinguished officer, who was the fourth son of the late Edward Berry, esq. a merchant in London, by Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev. Thomas Forster, of Barbadoes, F.R.S. having evinced an early predilection for the sea-service, was introduced into the royal navy, under the auspices of Lord Mulgrave, on the 5th February, 1779, when he wanted some months of being eleven years of age, and made his first voyage to the East Indies, in the Burford, of seventy guns. From this period, Sir Edward was engaged in continual active service, and reaped an abundant harvest of laurel, during the war previous to the short peace of Amiens, having been the associate of the gallant Nelson, at the Nile, and in other great achievements. Upon the renewal of hostilities, Captain Berry again sailing under the command of the hero of the Nile, engaged in the van division of the fleet in the memorable engagement off Cape Trafalgar, on the 21st of October 1805, and, as usual, sustained his high and bravely-earned reputation. After this engagement, Sir Edward, (who had received the honour of knighthood, on the 12th December, 1799,) proceeded to the West Indies, in the same ship, the Agamemnon, and participated in the victory gained by Sir Thomas Duckworth, 6th February, 1806, off St. Domingo. Upon his subsequent return home, Sir Edward received two medals from the king; one for this action, and another for Trafalgar; and, having previously obtained one for the Nile, he was the only captain in his majesty's service who had been honoured with three medals. He d. in 1831, when the BARONETCY became EXTINCT.

DOLBEN.

CREATED 1st April, 1704.-EXTINCT 27th Sept. 1837.

Lineage.

This ancient family is descended from that of D'Albini, Earls of Sussex and Barons Dutton, temp. HENRY II. The present genealogy ascends to the reign of EDWARD IV. at which time they had large

possessions in Caernarvonshire and Denbighshire, and were connected by marriage with some of the first families in the Principality. In the line of descent they stand thus: Hugh D'Albini, Humphrey Dalbin, John Dalbin, William Dalben; this last was rector of Stanwick, in Northamptonshire, and nominated bishop of Rochester, but died before consecration. He was first cousin to David Doulben, or Dolben, rector of Hackney and bishop of Bangor.

JOHN DOLBEN, archbishop of York, prior to entering into holy orders, was a military officer, and distinguished himself upon active service during the civil wars, under the royal standard, particularly at the defence of York, where he was severely wounded. He was lord-high-almoner and clerk of the closet to CHARLES II. and, during the prohibition of the Liturgy, was accustomed to read it in a house opposite All Souls' College, of which a memorial is preserved in a fine painting, by Sir Peter Lily, at Finedon, a copy of which hangs in the hall of Christ Church, Oxford. He m. Mary, niece of Archbishop Sheldon, and was s. by his son,

I. GILBERT DOLBEN, one of the justices of the Court of Common Pleas in Ireland, who was created a BARONET, 1st April, 1704. Sir Gilbert, m. Anne, eldest daughter and co-heir of Tanfield Mulso, esq. of Finedon, in the county of Northampton, and dying in 1722, (two years after his retirement from the bench,) was s. by his only son,

II. THE REV. SIR JOHN DOLBEN, prebendary of Durham, b. 12th February, 1683-4, who m. Elizabeth, second daughter of William, Lord Digby, by whom he had,

WILLIAM, his successor.

He d. 20th November, 1756, and was s. by his son,

III. SIR WILLIAM DOLBEN. This gentleman, who represented the University of Oxford for more than thirty years in parliament, m. first, 17th May, 1748, Judith, daughter and sole heir of Somerset English, esq. by whom he had

JOHN-ENGLISH, present baronet.
Anne-Juliana, d. in 1804.

He wedded, secondly, 14th October, 1799, Charlotte, daughter of Gilbert Affleck, esq. of Dalham Hall, in Suffolk, and widow of John Scotchmer, esq. but by her, who d. 12th March, 1820, had no issue. He d. 20th March, 1814, and was s. by his son,

IV. SIR JOHN ENGLISH DOLBEN, b. in 1750, who m. in 1779, Hannah, daughter of William Hallet, esq. of Cannons, in Middlesex, and had issue,"

WILLIAM SAUNDERS, who m. Frances, daughter of Captain Walter Saunders, and died in 1817, leaving two daughters,

Sir English died 27th September, 1837, when the BARONETCY became EXTINCT. "This remarkable personage," says a recent writer in the Gentleman's Magazine, "was much attached to classical literature and antiquities, and like his father, was a zealous supporter of the Established Church, but a sincere friend to toleration. Previously to his final retirement into the country, he lingered with much affection about the haunts of his youthful studies and amusements, being alike remarkable for his venerable deportment and harmless eccentricity. He was a constant visitor at the commemoration dinners at Christchurch; and he frequently joined the juvenile ranks at Westminster School, whom he would accompany to service at the Abbey, saying he was the youngest among them, beginning to count afresh from the age of seventy. He had his cards printed in black letter type, saying that he was himself "old English," and that was the most appropriate style for him. He carried so many small volumes about with him in his numerous and capacious pockets, that he appeared like a walking library; and his memory, particularly in classical quotations, was equally richly stored. About 1820, he visited Italy, taking with him Mr. G. Tytler, a Scotch artist, who afterwards published a large panoramic view of Edinburgh, and also several lithographic views in Italy, in which the figure of Sir English frequently occurs."
