Today’s Blog Post
But just wait until my Peerage comes in
As I read about Francis Ronald Egerton, I “hummphed”! Can you imagine?! Look at that list that Dude is known as...
Francis is the 7th Duke of Sutherland,
Marquis of Stafford, Earl of Gower,
Earl of Ellesmere,
Viscount Trentham,
Viscount Brackley,
Baron Gower of Stittenham and Baronet
Now some nasty low life has posted all of his trivia in Wikipedia.
I cannot imagine how his family must feel when he is posted to the common man’s, free encyclopedia! Here it is for the whole world to see… and have a commoner like Murray Lincoln place it in his Blog, in that horribly wild place called Canada and the remote place entitled Peterborough.
But just in case the other commoner folk that actually want some amusement today and may need a pleasant break from the wild place called Canada… here it is for you to read…
From Wikipedia… quote…
Francis Ronald Egerton, 7th Duke of Sutherland (b. 18 February 1940), known as Francis Egerton until 2000, is a British peer.
Sutherland is the son of Cyril Reginald Egerton, the grandson of Francis Egerton, 3rd Earl of Ellesmere. His mother was Mary, daughter of Sir Ronald Campbell. Sutherland was educated at Eton and RAC Cirencester.
In 2000, Sutherland succeeded his first cousin once removed as 7th Duke of Sutherland and 6th Earl of Ellesmere. Most of Sutherland's wealth is in the form of the art collection put together by the first Duke's uncle, Francis Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater, which had been inherited by the Ellesmere line of the family. In 2008 he sold Titian's Diana and Actaeon to the National Gallery of Scotland and National Gallery in London for £50m. He ranked 107th in the Sunday Times Rich List 2009, with an estimated wealth of £480m in art and land.
End quote.
The only difference between Francis and me is that the art work that he owns is worth more than mine. However I actually collected mine or produced mine… where he was given his musty old stuff… from some great uncle.
Now some of the dear folk that are “Peerists” – that is people that are interested in the Peerage of old country… will be having an apoplexy attack about this moment.
Hey I have every right in the world to address this Francis Ronald Egerton as Dude… the way we do in Canada to our equals.
I am directly related to one Samuel Lincoln that came to the USA in its very early days to begin his new opportunity in North America. And Samuel had a great-great-great-great-grandson, President Abraham Lincoln.
But Samuel’s grandfather was Richard Lincoln of Hingham, Norfolk, and the Swanton Morley Manor.
Richard Lincoln gave all that he had to his fourth wife’s family. Edward Lincoln, Richard Lincoln’s first wife’s son, was given nothing except the opportunity to live in a small cottage on the back side of the huge estate that Richard owned.
Samuel Lincoln made a huge decision and jumped on a ship to go to the Colonies – landing at or near Plymouth Rock in the some day to be Massachusetts. Together with others they built the new village of Hingham, Mass. Samuel was registered as a weaver.
So other than a little hiccup with one nasty – way back and many Great Grandfathers ago… I could have stood up to Francis Ronald Egerton with my nose in the air too.
I might have been forced to go to Eton too… but Innismore Public School, Haultain Public School, Thomson Public School and then Central Collegiate Institute, University of Regina, University of Manitoba, Ryerson University of Toronto, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Eastern Pentecostal Bible College – now entitled Master’s College and Seminary – were way more fun and far more important in my life!
But I did find out if I write to hirhprincekarlvondeutschland@yahoo.co.uk … His Imperial and Royal Highness Prince Karl Fredericke of Germany will get my title in place for the whole world to know.
But for now I will be simply me… Murray Ross Lincoln, born in Ceylon Saskatchewan, on April 13th, 1944 while my father held a flashlight for the medical team to see, which consisted of a doctor of some sort and maybe a midwife. Eventually I would rise to a high position of an Ordained Pentecostal Minister, an artist, a wood carver, a lace maker, a husband, a grand father and a friend.
But just wait until my Peerage comes in. That will be something else!
