V.G. C^) See note " b " on previous page. C*) For an account of the ceremonies attending this creation, see note sub i Earl OF Clarendon. Annesley, Earl of Anglesey, bore arms of Paly silver and azure with a bend gules, being the undiiFerenced arms of his ancestors the Annesleys of Annesley. His immediate ancestors, the Annesleys of Newport Pagnel, were, however, a family of lesser gentry, sprung from a younger son of the Annesleys of Ruddington, themselves a cadet branch from the main stock. The quartering by this family of the arms of Chandos has nothing the justify it. {ex inform. Oswald Barron.) V.G.
