Ive been told by family that my great great grandfather Conly Thomas James Dease was a lord, and i dont know how to find out if its true. There is no mention of it on his death certificate, which is the only piece of info i have on him. Should i just assume if it doesnt mention it here it wasn't true? |

Have you tried googling? Or look through debretts or Whos Who - it must show up somewhere. |

It rather look like he might have been from a military background. |

He was appointed probationary assistant surveyor, 1 Dec. 1873 for 11th & 2nd Deccan Topgraphical Survey. From a book "A Memoir on the Indian Surveys" by Clements R. Markham. |

he was in the indian civil service according to his death cert, and lived at no 9 Pall Mall which is why i thought the lord thing might be true. This part of the family are driving me nuts! they have been really hard to trace, |

The lease of 9 Pall Mall was held by the Royal Bank of Scotland until disposed of in 2001. 7 Pall Mall was Cox & Kings Bank, which became part of Lloyds Bank, then Lloyds TSB and held a lot of military and overseas .accounts. |

If you're looking for Marriage or Baptism or Death info then you'll need to visit the British Library, in Kings Cross London. They have indexes which will give you the reel number and folio number; look for this on microfilm. Its Free to look and they charge 20p for a A4 print |
