Notes
  1. For example, the present (19th) duke was known as The Honourable John Seymour from his birth on 30 December 1952 until the death of his grandfather (the 17th duke) on 26 April 1954.
  2. For example, The Honourable Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox (15 August 1895 – 5 September 1895) was born and died in the lifetimes of his great-grandfather the 6th duke, his grandfather (then known as Earl of March) and his father (then known as Lord Settrington)
  3. For example, the 9th duke was known as The Honourable John Fitzroy from his birth on 1 August 1914 until the death of his father (William FitzRoy, Viscount Ipswich) on 23 April 1918.
  4. For example, the 14th duke was known as The Honourable Henry 'Robin' Russell from his birth on 21 January 1940 until the death of his great-grandfather the 11th duke on 27 August 1940.
  5. Heywood, Valentine. "Courtesy Titles". British Titles - The Use and Misuse of the Titles of Peers and Commoners, with Some Historical Notes.
  6. Not currently in use, as the appropriate heir bears the title of prince.
  7. For example, the current (7th) was known as The Honourable Robert Gascoyne-Cecil from the death of his great-grandfather (the 4th marquess) on 4 April 1947 until the death of his grandfather (the 5th marquess) on 23 February 1972.
  8. This peer in fact bears no subsidiary title with a territorial designation different from his substantive title; the family's surname is substituted for the courtesy title instead.
  9. Edward Gordon Fiennes-Clinton, son of the 18th Earl of Lincoln was styled "Lord Fynes". The 19th Earl of Lincoln is the grandson of the 18th Earl (as his father, Lord Fynes, pre-deceased the 18th Earl in 1999) https://archive.is/20120730192849/http://www.cracroftspeerage.co.uk/online/content/Lincoln1572.htm
