11 Apr 2012 noted obituary which appeared in the Calgary "Herald" of 10 November
2011 in the name of Frederick Thomas Gerald Perceval. Although no
title is mentioned, this may be the 12th Earl of Egmont. Standard works
of reference state that the heir is Donald Perceval, born in 1954, but
there seems to be doubt as to whether this man is an adopted son of the
11th Earl. If this is the case, he cannot inherit. I will await further details

wrongly assumed that ancient baronies were vested as subsidiary titles 
in higher ranked peerages, and were therefore available for use in "writs of
acceleration," where the eldest son and heir apparent of a peer can be 
summoned to the House of Lords. In these cases, the subsidiary peerage to
which the writ of acceleration applied were not vested as was assumed,
with the result that the writ had the effect of creating a new peerage,
and must therefore be considered as having been created in error.
