"Of that Ilk"


Sir David Gerald Moncreiffe of that Ilk, 10th Bt.


What does "of that Ilk" mean in such an expression? "Having a name that is the same as the place where one lives; Of that kind; of the same kind of person or thing as the one just mentioned." Or in other words, "Sir David Moncreiffe of Moncreiffe," I suppose.
