Distinction For D'Arcy?
Q EVER AL New Zealanders with y the surname D’Arcy, including John D’Arcy, the New Zealand .test cricketer, may well be eligible for listing in Debrett’s the Who’s Who of British titled families, according to its editor, Mr C. F. J, Hankinson. As a result of research by a member of the collateral branch of Baroness Darcy de Knayth, one of the oldest titles in the land, it was found that members of the
family went to both Australia and New Zealand some time last century. Therefore, should there be surviving descendants of those families they would be entitled to listing under the collateral branches of the Baronage. , Created in 1332. the present holder succeeded to the title in 1943 when her father, the seventeenth Baron and a Squadron Leader in the Royal Air Force, died on active service in Europe during the war. Because the title is of long standing it is one of the few which may continue down the female line of the family should there be ho male heir.
