date of their death. In the majority of cases it will not be necessary to say anything beyond this where, however, any further remark seems called for, it shall be given with due regard to brevity. Brothers or relatives of the same name sometimes found their way into different communities; but, as a rule, a connexion once formed with one house rather than another was not often broken. Be it noted, that in the following lists it is not always possible to give the Christian name borne by the monks where records, &c., are defective, only the religious" name is given.
