Marquess of Oston
I reverted your addition to List of Marquesses in the Peerages of the British Isles because Google is not aware of any Marquess (of) Oston or Marquis (of) Oston or Lord Oston, nor any connexion between the names Oston and McCallion, and I therefore suspect a hoax. Can you point to evidence of the existence of such a peerage? —Tamfang (talk) 07:19, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Well just because the all knowing Google dosent know of it, most certainly dosent mean it dosent exist. I am the 11th Marquess of Oston and i have 11 generations of ancestors to say so. And its not Lord Oston, its not Lord anything as i dont use the lord title as i have found it always gets to much attention. Oston was a small medieval village in Oxfordshire, but was crippled by the black death in 1665 and was completely removed from the face of the map when the 1st Marquess of Oston built his house, which was subsiquently pulled down in 1946 and the land sold off for farming. However through this turbulent history, the title has continued to this day and it is now myself that occupies it.Cadetchris (talk) 14:55, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It's true that ignorance is not proof of nonexistence; but I hope you'll agree that an encyclopedia needs more than one person's say-so, even if that person is the 11th Marquess of Oston. By the way, if you hold a peerage, why are you "Cadet"? ;) —Tamfang (talk) 06:36, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I use Cadet, as i was a senior cadet in the merchant navy and they where the best days of my life. shockingly even even princes have to start out as a mere cadet at the bottom of the pecking order. so i will continue to use Cadetchris as my user name and i will most certainly continue to use my title in every form of my public life, regardless if some nobody says it dosent exist.(Cadetchris (talk) 00:25, 13 February 2009 (UTC))


 * Ah, I didn't think of that sense of cadet: as a student of heraldry, I think first of the sense 'junior member of a house' (see Cadency). —Tamfang (talk) 05:04, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
