 Earl of Lindsay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The title Earl of Lindsay was created in 1633 in the Peerage of Scotland for John Lindsay, who later inherited the ancient Earldom of Crawford.
The two Earldoms remained united until the death of the twenty-second Earl of Crawford, also sixth Earl of Lindsay, when the earldom of Lindsay passed to David Lindsay, while the earldom of Crawford became dormant because no-one could prove a claim to the title.
The subsidiary titles of the Earl are: Viscount Garnock (created 1703), Lord Lindsay of The Byres (1445), Lord Parbroath (1633) and Lord Kilbirnie, Kingsburn and Drumry (1703), all in the Peerage of Scotland.

 Earl of Balcarres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In January 1808, the ancient Earldom of Crawford, held by members of another branch of the Lindsay family, became dormant because no-one could prove a claim to the title.
Then, in 1843, James Lindsay, 7th Earl of Balcarres put forward his claim; in 1848, the House of Lords allowed it.
It was held that the seventh Earl's father, the sixth Earl, was the lawful successor to the earldom of Crawford (though he did not claim it); therefore, the sixth Earl of Balcarres was posthumously declared the twenty-third Earl of Crawford, and his son, the seventh Earl of Balcarres, became the twenty-fourth Earl of Crawford.
