ArchivesRe: Hey, there's even one for "Lord Daividh"!
in reply to a message by Nanaea
And here I always thought it was a miner's pick, an eviction notice, and a pint of bitter on a shady background. We be a classy bloodline...
The closest the Marshalls (or Cargills before 'em) ever came to "entitlement" in the heraldic sense was in the 1840's when my ggg-grandad gave one of his sons the first and middle names of "George Keith" to brown-nose the local laird (of the same name). Don't know if it worked but it must have seemed suspicious, because the name "George" never appeared in our family before or since and nobody else in the line was given a middle name of any sort for another 75 years.
