Lots 1 to 11 were inherited by the current owners from various lines - both male and female - of their family. The majority of jewels were owned by members of the Surtees family; a prominent family from County Durham whose ancestry may be traced back to William the Conqueror. The surname Surtees, is derived from "sur-Tees" or "sur-Tays", in reference to the rivers Tee or Tay, near where the family anciently settled. The Surtees' family home was the 17th century Jacobean manor house, Redworth Hall, sold in the mid 20th century and now a luxury hotel. Some of the jewels in this collection, notably the three pendants with Royal connections, were owned by the Shaw Stewart family of Scotland, descended via the male line from Sir John Stewart, illegitimate son of Robert III of Scotland. The ownership of the jewels by individuals is stated where possible.
