The surname could be corrected by completing the proposed merge into Leycester-9. Leycester is the old spelling of Leicester and should be acceptable.
The History of the County Palatine and City of Chester. Vol. 1. and A genealogical and heraldic history of the extinct and dormant baronetcies. are excellent sources. What is the issue preventing the merge, and the removal of the Plantagenet parents?
