Cecily Grey or Cecily Bonville

[edit]
Cecilia Grey or Cecily Bonville? I have always seen her listed in all historical documents as Cecily Bonville, therefore the article needs to be reverted back to Cecily Bonville.06:45, 21 April 2008 (UTC)jeanne (talk)
I posted on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Peerage here and the advice was to put her under "Cecily Grey, Marchioness of Dorset". The rationale was that they don't put women under their maiden names as genealogists do. I see it's already been moved but just thought I'd drop a note. Pigman 05:42, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have moved the name of the article from Cecily Grey, Marchioness of Dorset to Cecily Bonville, Baroness Harington and Bonville, as she signed her will by that name and title; also she held those titles suo jure, whereas Grey was her married name, and Dorset, her first husband's title. Finally, she is known in history as Cecily Bonville.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 11:23, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stick with Cecily to avoid the confusing change of names throughout this article

[edit]

Why make the article confusing with the constant switch of names? Using her forename avoids all of this. Do we not use Anne in the Anne Boleyn article?!--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 15:12, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
