ENGLAND TITLES (LORD AND LADY)

Legg inn av ANN » 25 mai 2005 02:52:43

I AM VERY CONFUSED IN THE REGARD OF LORD AND LADY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD MY
4TH GRANDFATHER MARRIED A LADY OF TITLE. HOW WOULD THAT BE POSSIBLE,
IF HE WAS NOT A LORD? I HAVE HIS NAME BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND
AND INFORMATION ON THEIR MARRIAGE, WHERE OR EXACT DATE OR FAMILY
INFORMATION.
This is what I have:
(Joseph Bennett was born 1767 in London, England. He married Lady of
Title 1803. She died 1810.

Joseph Bennett Colonel in the British Army)

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR ME? OR ANY KIND OF INSIGHT?
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECICATED. THANK YOU!

There are several different ways that this could happen:-

First, at the time of her marriage to your ancestor the "lady of title" in
question may have been the widow of a titled man, who was himself not
necessarily a lord either by right or by courtesy (he could have been a
knight, or a Scottish judge called "lord" by convention).

Secondly, she could have inherited a title herself as a peeress in her own
right - in this case the title most probably will have been inherited by her
descendants, or by those of a relative if she was childless.

Thirdly, she might have been created a peeress, although this was very rare
in the late-18th/early-19th centuries.

Fourthly, she might have used a courtesy title, of "Lady Jane Doe" or
whatever, as daughter of an earl, marquess or duke.

Fifthly, she might have been the sister of someone who had inherited a
peerage within these ranks, accorded a courtesy title after he succeeded.

Given the vagueness of your information, the first would seem the most
likely explanation if it is true in the first place.

Ann please don't use ALL CAPS when you are typing.
You mentioned this is a grandfather of yours, so wouldn't that mean that
woman was a grandmother also?
You will need to gather more details. For example, what are your sources
for his birth in 1767 ? What is your source for him being born in London?
What is the source for his wife dieing in 1810 ? What is the source for him
being a Colonel in the British Army.
You need to collect copies of these primary documents that say such things
and then examine them. That is the way you can proceed back.

Really like this new word 'disgest'! Sort of a combination of 'digest'
and 'disgust.' Very appropriate activities, both, in this instance.
