Thomas Drake Tyrwhitt-Drake

[edit]

Where does this extended name come from? All the best: Rich Farmbrough18:45, 23 June 2014 (UTC).

Hi Richard (if I may call you that), his full name is given here: [1] and also here: [2]. There is also a photograph of a sign put up at family home, Shardeloes, with his initials on it (see [3] on [4]). The article itself explains why he chose to change his name, based on the information in the History or Parliament and also Burke's 1837 edition of A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Landed Gentry (vol. I, p. 582). Does this help? Thanks, Noswall59 (talk) 16:37, 24 June 2014 (UTC).[reply]
