[edit]

This article is an absolutely third-rate agglomeration of sources like "Houseofnames.com" and "The Internet Surname Database", many of which were cleverly combined and built upon to aggrandise this family in what was, based on the edit history, evidently a vanity project of some sort for a now long-departed editor. In fact, based on available published, reliable sources, this family was never quite such a great thing as a "House of Lilburn", but minor gentry. For example, the claim of a title "Earl of Dunstanburgh" appears entirely fictional. I trimmed, reorganised and focused the article considerably, admittedly removing a good deal of the non-notable family members (all of whom arranged in an illogical and counterintuitive way) unsupported- and impossible to corroborate, using Google books or other internet sources- "family tradition"/ legend stuff, as can be seen here for anyone interested in how the article could have looked with a little attention: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=House_of_Lilburn&type=revision&diff=1038594736&oldid=1016808833
