[Illustration] Sir Osbert Silvayne, Knight, of Norton Woodhouse, in the Forest of Sherwood, living in the 29th of Henry III., is the first proved ancestor of this family: he is said to have been son of Ralph Silvayne. Some of the name, which we may supposed to be derived from this wood or forest, were seated at Norton before the year 1140. Croxdale was inherited from the heiress of Whalton in 1402. Younger branch, Salvin of Sunderland Bridge, in this county. See Surtees's Durham iv. 117, and the Scrope and Grosvenor Roll, ii. p. 340. For the extinct family of Salvin of Newbiggen, see Graves's Cleveland. ARMS.--_Argent, on a chief sable two mullets pierced or_. This coat was borne by Sir Gerard Salveyn in the reign of Edward II., and also I suppose by the same Sir Gerard in that of Edward III., but here the _mullets are voided vert_. Again, in the reign of Richard II, Monsieur Gerard Salvayn bore his _mullets of six points or, pierced gules_. Present Representative, Gerard Salvin, Esq. +Gentle.+ LAMBTON OF LAMBTON CASTLE, EARL OF DURHAM 1833, BARON 1828. [Illustration] According to Surtees, traced to Robert de Lambton, Lord of Lambton in 1314. 'There was, it is true, a John de Lambton, living between 1180 and 1200, but the pedigree cannot be _proved_ beyond this Robert. The Lambtons were among the first families of the North who embraced the Reformed Religion, and were loyal during the Civil Wars of the seventeenth century. See Surtees's Durham, ii. 174. ARMS.--_Sable, a fess between three lambs trippant argent_. Present Representative, George Frederick D'Arcy Lambton, 2nd Earl of Durham. ESSEX. +Knightly.+ TYRELL OF BOREHAM, BARONET 1809. [Illustration] "This is," says Morant, "one of the most ancient knightly families which has subsisted to our own days;" descended from Walter Tyrell, who held the manor of Langham, in this county, at the time of Domesday; it is doubtful whether he was the person who shot William Rufus. Indeed, although the ancient descent of the Terells or Tyrells is generally admitted, the pedigree appears to require the attention of an experienced genealogist. There have been many branches of the Tyrells in this and other counties; the present is a junior one of the original stock, and Boreham a very recent possession. Elder branches now extinct:-- Tyrell of Thornton, co. Buckingham, Baronet 1627 to 1749. Tyrell of Springfield, Essex, Baronet 1666 to 1766. See Morant's History of Essex, i. 208; Wotton's Baronetage, ii. 85, iii. 610. ARMS.--_Argent, two chevrons azure within a border engrailed gules_ Present Representative, Sir John Tyssen Tyrell, 2nd Baronet, late M.P. for Essex. WALDEGRAVE OF NAVERSTOKE, EARL WALDEGRAVE 1729; BARONET 1685, BARONET 1643.
