Having time on my hands and a subscription to Ancestry I was wondering if any of our English readers could help me. I have a Joseph Lang #1 made in 1885 as per the records. It is listed as having been sold to a mister "D. Davidson, Esquire". As noting the Esquire would have been important to Mr. Davidson I was wondering if this could help me establish his place in life. I found a D. Davidson in the 1881 census in London and he was listed as a retired Naval Officer. Would the use of Esquire been appropriate for him or what level of society would allow this usage
