Bach., of St. Martin's, Ludgate, and Mrs. Margaret Smith, of Great Wigborough, Essex, widow, to be married there, March 21, 1665-66; John Arden, of St. James's, Westminster, widower, aged about fifty, and Mrs. Elizabeth Wright, spinster, twenty-two, January 12, 1687-88.
John Brown, of St. Olave's, Hart Street, London, haberdasher, and Anne Arden, of St. Andrew's, Holborn, widow of John Ardern, Fletcher, February 10, 1595.
The will of Robert Arden, gent., Deptford, was proved 1579.
An Alexander Arderne, of Deptford, wished to be buried in the churchyard beside the hawthorn-tree; he had a wife, Elizabeth, a brother-in-law, William Inson, and no children, February 26, 1639. Administration of the goods of James Arden, London, was granted his wife Anne, 1639. Thomas le Barber, from Peter de Arderne, held tenements in the parish of St. Clements Danes. Alicia Arderne, who was wife of Richard Hampton, left tenements in the parish of St. Mary in the Strand and in the parish of St. Clement's Danes, 1466.
It seems wiser to group a set of records not generally accessible to students, which, though preserved in London, concern the Ardens of many branches--I mean a set of deeds, charters, and conveyances preserved among the Guildhall Records of London:
"Johanna Arden, wife of Roger de Arden, tailor, 1295. Roll 24.
"Henry de Arderne, A.D. 1305. Roll 34 .

"John Arden, of Creechurch, merchant tailor, 1625. Roll 302 .
"Francis Arden, son of Richard, Cit. and Loriner, of London, 1646, Apprentice."
The Royalist Composition Papers, 1644-57, mention as "Delinquents," "Mr. Arden," "John," "Robert" is mentioned twenty-three times, "Thomas," "Ann," "Elizabeth," "Godetha," "Mary," "Mrs. Arden," "John and Mary Arderne." And many other allusions could be added to the list of references to the various members of this distinguished family.
COLONIAL ARDENS.
In speaking of the Ardens of Victoria, Burke disclaims their right to arms, but nevertheless derives them from Humphrey Arden. He says: "The first recorded ancestor, Humphrey Arden, of Longcroft, co. Stafford, died in 1705, and so far from being able to show descent from Siward, they are unable even to prove connection with the extinct family of Arden of Park Hall."
Here Burke is clearly in the wrong. If they can prove their descent from Humphrey of Longcroft, they can through him claim descent from the Ardens of Park Hall and from Siward, as can be seen from all pedigrees.
