His Grace's Register of the Inspection of Peerages constitutes a cross between a peerage inventory and a personal contributions list, and its origin is closely connected to succession boxes (though it may also be otherwise useful, in ways as yet unclear). It lists peerage chains of succession of which the succession boxes I have checked and perhaps edited, and includes notes and useful (?) statistics. It also lists subsidiary titles, which were created along with other titles for the same people and at the same time, and which are normally invisible in succession boxes. (Other such titles that were created under the same conditions but later followed a different course of succession—usually due to extinction of the senior titles—I have listed in the corresponding "main titles" tables, as they now have their own succession lines.) Feel free to add to the tables any forgotten subsidiary titles of the titles already listed (though I doubt anyone will bother).

Titles in bold have not yet been "inspected" in their entirety.

Key to the tables edit

In the tables for the main titles (the ones which are visible in succession boxes), there are the following columns:

  • Title – In descending order of seniority, then ascending alphabetical order; if the title has been created more than once (in any peerage), its particular incarnation is indicated by a number in parentheses.
  • Year – The year of the title's creation (addition to some tables pending).
  • Number of holders (Hold.) – The number of the people who have held the particular title or creation thereof—including those who have held higher titles.
  • Number of extant articles (Art.) – The number of the existing articles for holders of the title.
  • Number of appearances (Vis.) – The number of the succession boxes in which the title has a (visible) succession line.
  • Number of inspected boxes (Fin.) – The number of the previous column's succession boxes edited by the Duke of Waltham.
  • Number of names featuring the title (Name) – The number of the title's holders' articles in the titles of which the specific peerage title is included, something that indicates whether this is a subject's most senior title or not; if an article title does not include any peerage titles held in the subject's own right but would include this one otherwise, this article is counted in a second number shown within parentheses.
  • Notes – The way the title ended (or the word "extant" if it still exists), or the details about the granting of a higher title (specific peer elevated, specific title, and, if applicable, number of title's creation; in case that is in a different peerage, an abbreviation is given in parentheses); also, in case the title is held concurrently with a more senior title for part of its history, details are given about that as well.

In the tables for the subsidiary titles, the "Vis.", "Fin.", and "Name" columns are missing—as all three numbers are zero for subsidiary titles—and the "Notes" column is substituted with a "Senior title" column—as this is the only information that can be filled in there.

Note that, in the four columns following "Year", no value can be higher than that of the previous column after an inspection.
