I remain deeply in debt to the inspiration and mentorship of David Spring. Preface In this list cadet, associated, and stem families are arranged in a single entry when substantial property passed between one and the other providing continuity of parliamentary representation (even, as was the case in a few instances, when no blood or marriage relationship existed). Subsidiary/cadet families are usually grouped under the oldest, richest, or most influential stem family. Female MPs are counted with their birth families, or, if not born into a parliamentary family, with their husband’s family.
