CHARLES DE LAMBERT AND FAMILY

William Warcop Peter Preston was born on January 6 1833. In 1860 he adopted, on the instigation of his grand great-uncle Peter Consett, the surname Consett. In 1839 the uncle left him the property with the exquisite large mansion Brawith Hall, Thirsk as well as Crosby Cote, Yorkshire. However the inheritance was left in the hands of administrators until 1860. In this way the surname Consett has been kept from becoming extinct, very common in England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries!
