I get Gibbon into Burke's Peerage , 2004:
The Gibbon family descend from the
10th Earl of Pembroke
through his illegitimate son.
Arthur Gibbon
married his granddaughter in 1814.
Burke's Peerage was
first published in 1826,
and for 178 years their entry for PEMBROKE excluded the Gibbon line
because it was illegitimate.
When Burke's Peerage was re-launched in 1999,
they said they would include illegitimate lines,
so I contacted them in 2000.
Due to my research, in 2004
I managed to get a mention of Gibbon
inserted into
Burke's Peerage .
They had been excluded from it for
178 years.
Here is a screen shot of part of the new entry for
PEMBROKE
in Burke's Peerage
