276 Report of Meetings for 1891. By Dr J. Hardy. 



I., from whom it descended to the Gaao^y family. "In the rei^n of Henry 

 III., Radalph de Guagy held in capite of the king his barony of EUingham, 

 by the service of three knights' fees, as all his ancestors had done from 

 the time of Henry I. In 1 Edward I., 1272, Radnlph de Gaagy held 

 EUingham, Osberwick, Doxford, Cramlington, Heton near Newcastle, a 

 tenement at Hartley, and Whitley ; but his posterity, after two or three 

 short successions failed, when this estate passed to Roger de Clifford, 

 cousin and heir to Radnlph or Ralph de Guagy, 15 Edward I. (1286.) In 

 1 Richard II. (1377) it was the lordship of Sir Alan de Heton, who in that 

 year served the Right Hon. Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, and his 

 son Henry at the siege of Berwick, where he had a particular service 

 allotted him in the assault, and acquired great honour by his valour. He 

 died in the latter part of that reign (1388) and left three daughters and 

 co-heiresses, viz. Elizabeth, married to Sir John de Fenwick ; Margaret to 

 Sir William Swinburne ; and Johanna to Sir Robert Ogle. Whether the 

 estate was afterwards alienated or sold, we cannot discover ; but when 

 the Earl of Northumberland's estates were confiscated, 1 Edward IV., 

 (1460-1) this manor is mentioned among others that were given to the 

 governor of Ireland, the king's brother. EUingham is now (1825) the 

 seat and manor of Thomas Haggerston, Esq., brother to the present Sir 

 Carnaby Haggerston of Haggerston Castle, bart., who inherited the estate 

 from his uncle Edward." 



Thus far Mackenzie. This Thomas became the 6th baronet, and married 

 Margaret, only daughter of William Robertson of Ladykirk, Berwickshire, 

 she having had five daughters, the eldest of whom became Baroness 

 Marjoribanks of Ladykirk. Sir Edward, 7th bart., who died s.p. 6th May 

 1857, was second son of Thomas Haggerston of Sandoe. His brother. Sir 

 John, who succeeded him as 8th bart., died 8th March 1850; and Sir John 

 de Marie, the 9th and present baronet, succeeded. 



The Armorers preceded the Haggerstons.
