Excerpt: David Hubert Boothby Chesshyre, CVO (born 22 June 1940) served for more than forty years as an officer of arms to Queen Elizabeth II. Chesshyre's father was Colonel Hubert Layard Chesshyre, MA (Cantab), late RE, born Hubert Layard Isacke, son of Major General Hubert Isacke, CB, CSI, CMG, late Queen's Own Royal West Kent Regiment. Chesshyre's great-grandfather Sir Charles Peter Layard was Attorney General of Ceylon 1892-1902 and Chief Justice of Ceylon 1902-1906. Chesshyre is also the 3rd-great-grandson of the 7th Earl of Dundee and the 5th-great-grandson of the 6th Earl of Lauderdale. Appropriately for a herald he is related to both the Bearer of the Royal Banner and the Bearer of the National Flag of Scotland. Chesshyre comes from Canterbury, where the family has deep roots: his 2nd-great-grandfather, the Reverend William John Chesshyre, was a Canon of Canterbury Cathedral. Chesshyre is therefore the first cousin twice removed of Canon Chesshyre's grandson The Rt Hon The Lord Tomlin, knight, PC, Lord of Appeal in Ordinary. Another of Chesshyre's 3rd-great-grandfathers was Major Sir William Boothby, 7th baronet, 51st (2nd Yorkshire West Riding) Regiment of Foot, FLS. Chesshyre is also a kinsman of Sir John Chesshyre (1662-1738), Serjeant at Law to Queen Anne. It was his inheriting a portrait of Sir John that sparked Chesshyre's interest in genealogy. Interestingly, Chesshyre is the 10th-great-grandson of Henry Stanley, 4th Earl of Derby, KG, PC, Lord Lieutenant and Vice-Admiral of Cheshire and Lancashire, Lord of Mann, and Lord High Steward, by his illegitimate son also called Henry Stanley. He is in turn descended from Edward Stanley, 3rd Earl of Derby, KG, PC, Lord Lieutenant and Vice-Admiral of Cheshire and Lancashire, Lord of Mann, and Lord High Steward, who in 1555 presented Derby Place to the Crown as the home of the Herald's College (now the College of Arms). Chesshyre is therefore also the 12th-great-grandson of John Howard, 1st Duke of Norfolk, KG, Earl Mar
