We are struggling with three cryptic clues to help us find places in London (example: "Capital's organ" = The London Eye)

Can anyone help us with the following?:

1. "Line of descent changed hands"
2. "Perhaps Shakespeare's wife used this"
3. "Sounds like a lady with double weapons"

Also, we are after a famous ship/boat/water craft (for the same quiz!), which has missing letters (example M_ _ _ C _ _ _ S _ _ = Mary Celeste)

Its:

_ _ I _ _ A _ _ A

We've tried all sorts, but nothing seems to fit! Any body any thoughts?

Thanks!

The region wherein "Cockneys" are concept to stay isn't of course defined. a basic view is that as a fashion to be a Cockney, one would desire to have been born interior earshot of the Bow Bells.[13] even inspite of the shown fact that, the church of St Mary-le-Bow became destroyed in 1666 via the large hearth of London and rebuilt via Sir Christopher Wren. After the bells have been destroyed lower back in 1941 interior the Blitz of global war II, and in the previous they have been replaced in 1961, there became a era while via this definition no 'Bow-bell' Cockneys would desire to be born.[14] using this form of literal definition produces different issues, as a results of fact the section around the church is not residential and the noise of the section makes it not likely that many human beings could be born interior earshot of the bells anymore,[15] although guy's scientific institution and St Thomas' scientific institution are the two interior the defined section coated via the sound of the Bow Bells, suggesting a sensible sort of South London Cockneys stay born interior the sound of the bells. the closest maternity unit became the East London Maternity scientific institution in Stepney which became 2.5 miles from St Mary-le-Bow and became in use from 1884 to 1968. A learn became performed via the city in 2000 to make certain how a tactics the Bow Bells would desire to be heard,[quotation needed] and it became predicted that the bells could have been heard six miles to the east, 5 miles to the north, 3 miles to the south, and four miles to the west. in accordance to the legend of Dick Whittington the bells would desire to as quickly as be heard from as a tactics away as Highgate.[sixteen] The association with Cockney and the East end interior the wide-unfold public mind's eye may well be as a results of many human beings assuming that Bow Bells are to be got here across interior the district of Bow, extremely than the lesser basic St Mary-le-Bow church. for this reason whilst all East Enders are Cockneys, not all Cockneys are East Enders.
