[edit]

My female ancestor was a servant in the kitchen of the the Marquess sometime between 1872-1900. Is there any source for details on the dates and character of her service?

I doubt there are public records beyond what would be available for anyone -- census records and so forth. You could try writing a polite letter to the current Marquess; perhaps the family has something. Now, if you want more general information on the workings of aristocratic Victorian households, I'm sure there's plenty of that around. - Loren

Barony

[edit]

Can someone check the entry as I think the titles are Baron Mulgrave of Mulgrave, Co York, and Baron Mulgrave of New Ross, Co Wexford. I don't entirely trust Burke's being accurate in their entry so I won't amend it until someone can check.Alci12 13:03, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This church website notes: "1873 - When the Marquis of Normanby was Vicar.. " This seems a little surprising and there seems to be no mention of St Mark's Church, Worsley here. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:20, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Which Normanby?

[edit]

The disambiguation page Normanby lists several in the UK. To which one does this title refer? John Sheffield, 1st Duke of Buckingham and Normanby, Marquess of Normanby, and Duke of Buckingham and Normanby should all make this clear. -- Beland (talk) 17:10, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
