This work is intended to set forth the entire Baronetage, giving a short account of all holders of the dignity, as also of their wives, with (as far as can be ascertained) the name and description of the parents of both parties. It is arranged on the same principle as The Complete Peerage (eight vols., 8vo., 1884-98), by the same Editor, save that the more convenient form of an alphabetical arrangement has, in this case, had to be abandoned for a chronological one; the former being practically impossible in treating of a dignity in which every holder may (and very many actually do) bear a different name from the grantee. -

DEPARTMENT CHURCH ••.;••• P-. .go CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS Omnes, si ad originem primam revocantur, a dis sunt. SENECA, Epist. xliv. One hundred copies of this work have been printed. PREFACE '•"^AN these bones live ? . and the breath came into them, and they ^-^ lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.' The question, that was asked in Ezekiel's vision, seems to have been answered satisfactorily ; but it is no easy matter to breathe life into the dry bones of more than a thousand pedigrees : for not many of us are interested in the genealogies of others ; though indeed to those few such an interest is a living thing. Several of the following pedigrees are to be found among the most ancient of authenticated genealogical records : almost all of them have been derived from accepted and standard works ; and the most modern authorities have been consulted ; while many pedigrees, that seemed to be doubtful, have been omitted. Their special interest is to be found in the fact that (with the exception of some of those whose names are recorded in the Wallop pedigree, including Sir John Wallop, K.G., who ' walloped' the French in 1515) every person, whose lineage is shown, is a direct (not a collateral) ancestor of a family, whose continuous descent can be traced since the thirteenth century, and whose name is identical with that part of England in which its members have held land for more than seven hundred and fifty years. -

MS 69 Papers of Christopher Collins, Mid to Late Seventeenth Century, C.1800-75
1 MS 69 Papers of Christopher Collins, mid to late seventeenth century, c.1800-75 Christopher Collins entered the service of the First Duke of Wellington in 1824 and remained as his confidential servant for the remainder of the Dukes life, continuing in the service of the Second Duke. He travelled with Wellington on most of his journeys, including Wellington’s journey to St. Petersburg in February to April 1826. The collection that forms MS 69 was for the most part separated from the papers of the First Duke of Wellington that form MS 61 during the 1860s, when that collection was weeded extensively, and which were preserved by Collins rather than being destroyed. Other papers include a sample of Wellington’s letters and notes to Collins, which provide an interesting insight into the organization and running of the Duke’s household. The Collection divides into four groups: (i) political correspondence of the First Duke of Wellington, 1807-1852 (ii) correspondence of Wellington with Lieutenant Colonel Gurwood, editor of his Dispatches (iii) Wellington’s correspondence with Christopher Collins and (iv) papers of Christopher Collins. The collection was grouped in five portfolios and his arrangement has been preserved. It was acquired by the University with the assistance of the Museums and Galleries Commission/Victoria and Albert Museum Purchase Grant Fund and the Pilgrim Trust at Messrs. Woolley and Wallis’ sale at Salisbury on 13 November 1991. MS 69 1/1 Letter from Prince Albert to Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington. Prince Albert conveys Queen Victoria’s approval of Prince Albert’s design of military cap. -

Royal Flush Or Not? Understanding Royalty, Nobility and Gentry
Royal Flush or Not? Understanding Royalty, Nobility and Gentry Craig L. Foster, A.G.® [email protected] Definition of Royalty and Nobility The difference between royalty and nobility is that royalty “means that they were born into their position. Therefore only the king and queen and their direct relations can be considered royalty. … Nobility is a title conferred on a person if they meet certain requirements.” “The Aristocracy of England,” http://www.aristocracyuk.co.uk/ Royalty Definition of royalty is people of royal blood or status. Ranks of Royalty – King or Queen Prince Princess The royal family includes the immediate royal heirs as well as the extended family. Many also hold noble titles such as the Duke of Cornwall, which the heir apparent to the throne, and the Duke of York, as well as the Duke of Cambridge. www.royal.gov.uk Nobility Originally, nobility grew out of the feudal warrior classes. Nobles and knights were warriors who swore allegiance to the king in exchange for land. “Peers, Peeresses and other People,” www.avictorian.com/nobility.html “…hereditary permanent rank is what most Englishmen prize above all earthly honours. It is the permanency, especially, that they value.” Beckett, The Aristocracy in England, 1660-1914, p. 92 Noble Titles and Order of Precedence – Duke Marquess Earl Viscount Baron A peer of the realm is someone who holds one or more of the above titles. The peerage is a continuation of the original baronage system which existed in feudal times. “Historically the peerage formed a tightly knit group of powerful nobles, inter-related through blood and marriage in successive generations…” Debrett’s Essential Guide to the Peerage and Wikipedia In Scots law, there are certain titles that are recognized by the Crown as almost comparable to but not quite at the level of the peerage. -

Tna Prob 11/61/494
THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES PROB 11/61/494 1 ________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY: The document below is the Prerogative Court of Canterbury copy of the undated last will and testament, proved 2 November 1579, of Sir William Devereux (c.1525 - 28 September 1579) of Merevale, Warwickshire, who appointed as one of the overseers of his will Thomas Trentham (d.1587), father of Oxford’s second wife, Elizabeth Trentham (d.1612). The connection between the Devereux and Trentham families appears to have come about when an earlier Thomas Trentham (d.1518/19) married Elizabeth Corbet, whose mother was the testator’s great-aunt, Elizabeth Devereux (d.1516), the daughter of Walter Devereux (c.1432-1485), 1st Baron Ferrers of Chartley. For the will of Thomas Trentham (d.1518/19), see TNA PROB 11/19/252. For Elizabeth Devereux (d.1516), see the will of her son, Sir Robert Corbet, TNA PROB 11/17/471. FAMILY BACKGROUND For the History of Parliament biographies of the testator, Sir William Devereux, and his brother, Sir Richard Devereux (c.1513-1547), see: http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1558-1603/member/devereux-sir- william-1525-79 and: http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1509-1558/member/devereux-richard- 1513-47. The testator was the son of Walter Devereux (c.1489-1558), 1st Viscount Hereford, and his first wife, Mary Grey (d. 22 February 1539); the grandson of John Devereux (c.1463/4-1501), 2nd Baron Ferrers of Chartley and his wife, Cecily Bourchier (d.1493); and the great-grandson of Walter Devereux (c.1432-1485), 1st Baron Ferrers of Chartley, and his wife, Anne Ferrers (1438-1469), daughter and heir of Sir William Ferrers of Chartley, Staffordshire.
