Pronunciation[edit]

The article states that "the name is usually pronounced ‘Marchbanks’". Is it not closer to "Marshbanks"? This is suggested by the following limerick (from here – not a reliable source):

The vicar - his surname was Beauchamp -

Of marriage endeavoured to teauchamp,

While the bridesmaid, Miss Marjoribanks,

Played one or two harjoripranks;

But the shoe that she threw failed to reauchamp.
