    Thats the one, title bought from James I. His grandson (I think) got it upgraded to Duke.

    I visited one of the family's country piles at Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire a couple of years back, there was some fascinating stuff in there including some very poignant letters from sons of the Duke who'd fought in the 1st World War, I think three of the four sons were killed, the family had terrible luck around that time.

    Anyway, this question actually has a link to aristocracy:

    Where in London would you find the 'Chanel' logo embossed on street lamp-posts?...

    Correct. The 2nd Duke of Westminster had an affair with Coco Chanel throughout the 20s & 30s, he bought her property in Mayfair and France and lavished some of the most expensive jewellery imaginable on her. Chanel has never enforced it's copyright to the logo against Westminster...

    I can see that this is holding the thread up a bit. So, a clue - think cryptically and it's easy. If the place of my birth was Daft Row, and most of you have an emotional connection to a certain load of rust - then you will come across the answer.

    That's the one Beth - over to you. Simply an anagram of Britney Spears, as in Daft Row = Watford and Load of Rust, Loftus Road.
