Feb-08-13		IndigoViolet: His grandfather was <Alexander Peckover, 1st Baron Peckover FRGS, FSA, FLS (16 August 1830 – 21 October 1919), was a British quaker banker, philanthropist and collector of ancient manuscripts.> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexan... http://www.thepeerage.com/p24048.ht... <He had only daughters and is said to have declined the offer a special remainder that would have allowed the title to descend through his daughter to his grandson, stating that "if my grandson want the title he should earn it".> Pity, because this would have made Lionel, as the eldest grandson, a Baron, so he would have been Lord Lionel. In turn, that would have rendered Dr. Jonathan Penrose as The Honorable (Dr.) Jonathan Penrose. For non-Brits who don't get this @#$%: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courte...

Feb-08-13		JonathanJ: "if my grandson want the title he should earn it" --> good statement. aristocracy should be abolished, there are enough titles left that can be earned through achievements.
