[Opinions] Re: Names of Lords, Ladies & Titled in my ancestory
I think it's one title at a time! Lady Susan and Baroness Gladys; Sir John and Lord James, unless you're David Cameron in which case it's Lord Cameron. Go figure! Not sure what a Baron would go by: Baron Thomas? Lord Thomas? Are you sure about Prefivall? Could be Percival in very bad handwriting?Most names could be anyone's. I don't consider Mary Ellen, Joan Agnes (together or separately) or Dianne particularly title-worthy; Diane or Diana, yes. Jeffrey (though not Geoffrey) and Roger seem rather pleb, but it often depends on when they were named. Jehan is a nice surprise.My cousin married a Marjorie Mary! Anything but titled, but a nice person. I love Alice, Marianne and Margaret.

I double checked on Prefivall and as best I can gather it seems "Sir Prefivall" was a title and Richard was the first name. But I can't find anything on a title about that online. There's no mention of Percival in the records though.
