GEDCOM Note

Re FIREBRACE: Hester, daughter and eventually sole heir of Sir Basil Firebrace, Bart.(son of the devoted royalist,Sir Henry Firebrace, who attended King Charles 1. to the scaffold and received from his majesty, at the moment of decapitation, his miniature set in diamonds in a small ring, which has descended to, and is still possessed by the present Earl of Denbigh). From Burke 1894 Firebrace is now an extinct peerage, not sure if that is the correct term. If you go to Google and enter Stoke Golding you will find some interesting bits re Firebrace.
