He was descended from the family of Lister, being s. and h. of John Cunliffe, of llkley, who was s. and h. of Ellis Cunliffe, of the same, by Elizabeth, 1st da. and coheir of Thomas Lister, of Manningham. ( b ) See p. 82, note " b," sub " Leicester of Holkhain," as to this class of peerage, where the greater is subordinated to the less ; so also " Truro of Bowes," "Halifax af Monk brettou," &c, the title being (by the addition) thus explained away as not having reference to the place of note (town, city, or country), whose name it bears. ( c ) The preamble of the patent is in " Lodge," vol. ii, p. 378. ( J ) The ancient Eardoms [I.], of Ulster, Carrick, and Ormond, were to "heirs general," but since the creation of the last (1328), it is believed that no patent (save this one of 1661) has conferred an Irish dignity to such heirs. In none of the three kingdoms have a greater number of ladies been raised to the dignity of peerage, but the rem. (when any existed) has been always to the heirs male of the body of the grantee or of her husband or, iu the case of a male grantee, to the issue male of u da. or daughters.
