Notes and Questions

[edit | edit source]
  1. Muriel Duncombe Owen may have been Viscount Helmsley, or Lady Helmsley. Her son Charles William Reginald Duncombe was Viscount Helmsley by this time, but he did not marry until 1904, so no other Lady Helmsely seems likely. She married Hugh Darby Annesley Owen, however, in 1885, but if she retained her title, then she would still be eligible to use it.
