Debrett's Peerage Ireland and Scotland 1826

S&N has recently produced three discs detailing aristocratic and upper-class people. Debrett's Peerage Ireland and Scotland 1826 (£17.45) covers those with Irish and Scottish titles, details of their estates and their descent, back to the Middle Ages in some cases. It also contains a list of married daughters of peers, a surprising number of whom did not wed men with titles; their children would therefore merge into the landed gentry or wealthy commoner classes.
