Note 11 — MEMOIR OF THE REV. RICHARD GILPIN, M.D.

The Commentator on Philippians; cf. my Memoir of him, prefixed to the reprint of his masterly book, p. vii. Since this Memoir was published, I have discovered that Dr Airay was son of Bernard Gilpin’s sister Helen. See the Apostle’s ‘Will,’ in the Surtees’ volume of ‘Wills and Inventories, from the Registry at Durham,’ (1860,) Part II., pp. 83-94. So that the Gilpins and Airays were related. I have to thank William Jackson, Esq., Fleatham House, St Bees, for calling my attention to this. It explains obscurities in the life of Airay, and gives a key to Bernard Gilpin’s special interest in him.
