I have 2 questions regarding the heir to the new (5th) Viscount Mersey.
I know he has 2 daughters (including one just born July 30th) and no
sons. A female can succeed to his secondary title (the Lordship of
Nairne).
Does this mean: 1) the heir presumptive(?) to the viscountcy is his
Graham Truesdale...

Sounds right, assuming his Lordship has no brothers.
|
uncle David Edward Hugh
(b. 1938) ?
2) the heiress apparent (?) to the Lordship
of Nairne is the Viscount's
eldest daughter (Flora Diana Joan, b.
2003)?
Graham Truesdale...
|
No. She would only be heiress presumptive, as the birth of a brother
would mean that she was no longer heiress. A[n] heir/ess apparent is
somebody who only has to keep on living in order to inherit.

Please help!
