I am looking for a list of proper forms of address for all of the various titles in England.

Specifically, what the different titles, their ranking, how one would address a letter to a titled nobleman/noblewoman and how one would address them verbally.

Here are a couple examples of what I mean.

Title: Assemblyman/woman
Address: The Honorable Full name
Saluation: Dear Mr./Ms. Last name

Title: Ambassador to the U.S.
Address: His/Her Excellency Full name, The Ambassador of Place name
Saluation: Excellency or Dear Mr./Madam Ambassador

What is not included in the above that I would also like is the verbal address, i.e. when speaking with them, would you address a Duke as Your Grace?

I do have a rather good list of proper forms of address for the United States in return, if anyone is interested.

Please advise.

Thank you.

There are five stages of the British peerage
Duke
Marquis
Earl
Viscount
Baron

Oldest son of a Duke is marquis his daughters are ladies the title
the other sons has courtesy tiles i.e Lord James Moore but his children are knowning as hounables i.e Sarah Moore but when you meet them you don't say hi hounable it only use we say writing to them or addressing them.

Earl all daughters of an earl are again have the prefix title lady.
The eldest son take on the courtesy title as viscount. But if the earl has two sons or more thoses son have again the hounable that all.

Viscount childrens only have the hounable even the heir to the title

Baron again the same as viscount

When you meet a duke you address him/her as your graces
or sometimes your lordship.
Another example if you meet we say the second son of a marquis wife you don't address her as lady mary moore no. You aaddress her as lady john moore never lady jane moore.

I don't need to learn how to address an American embassador meet few in my time. How to address a cardinal. His Eminences
Bishop his lordship.
