Ohhh.. the forms of address are wrong. Men and women of title went by their title, not their last name in British Aristocracy. If they were the daughter or a son of a titled man they would be called Lady/Lord and then their Christian name, or, the name they were born with. For instance, if a man were the Earl of Villers he would be called Lord Villers even in spoken conversation. His daughter, however, would be called Lady Katherine (assuming that's her name). Among gentry the same was done for Dukes and Duchesses depending on the setting and so forth. They'd just call them Lady/Lord. It would get very confusing if you had two or three dukes in one room and just called out, "Your grace!". Ha.
