George Nayler

He was the fifth son of George Nayler, surgeon, of Stroud, Gloucestershire, and his wife Sarah, daughter of John Fark of Clitheroe, Lancashire.

That year, he acquired a loan of £1,300 to purchase the resignation of John Suffield Brown as Genealogist of the Order of the Bath and Blanc Coursier Herald and Nayler was appointed on 15 June 1792.

The following year, Nayler acquired a post in the College of Arms as Bluemantle Pursuivant for £60 and on the accidental deaths of Somerset and York heralds at Haymarket in 1794.

In 1820, he was promoted as Clarenceux King of Arms, officiating in place of Isaac Heard at the coronation of George IV in 1821.

[1] Nayler's presence at the coronation of William IV in 1831 was to be one of his last official functions before his death in Hanover Square, Mayfair, almost two months later.
