I found William Edwardes and his decendents on the Plantagenet Roll of Royal Blood on Ancestry. I wasn't able to find where to access this data base for free but I can save the page image and send it to you. Just need your email address. Also found the Edwardes on Peerage of the British Empire, England and Wales Visitation and Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland. Rose

You can search ancestry for Honourable by putting hon as first name. I did an 1871 for first name hon surname edwar* and got this match The Hon Cuthbert Edward 33 Rutland, England Visitor Upton with Chalvey Buckinghamshire Similary, first name majesty in 1871 gives you Napoleon and wife Her Majesty Emperess Eugenie Maria Under the Name of Countess of Pierrefonds 44 Espagne Wife Chiselhurst Kent His Majesty Napoleon III Charles Louis Under the Name of Earl of Pierrefonds 63 France Head Chiselhurst Kent

Hi I have a few titled/aristocratic ancestors and there doesn't seem to be a place to add title eg. Hon, Baron, Viscount etc. Is there a way of accessing titled people on here? I seemed to have messed things up a bit as I have put the title etc in brackets when entering surname as I thought might narrow things down if someone else is looking? For example I have an ancestor, William Edwardes 2nd Baron of Kensington and his father William Edwardes created 1st Baron of Kensington 1776. Also what about the title 'Lady', 'Honourable' etc? Any tips would be gratefully received! Thanks, Julia
