Can any linguistical expert elucidate the proper pronouciations for these words:

Grosvenor ( silent s or not?)
Edinburgh ('Borough' or "Burg"?)
Musselburgh (Mussel like 'muscle')?
Tichbourne ('sh' or hard 'ch' sound?)
Hotham (Hot-ham? or hoTHam like Gotham?)
Elizabeth (16th century usuage: long or short 'i', like Eliza is pronounced today?)
Tyburn (place of execution/beheading of Charles II. What is the 'y' sound, long or short?)
