I didn't mean that it was ruled out, just that you can't count on the Vatican records for a definitive answer. If they did process an appeal they will have a record of it. (A fairly large proportion of canon law cases did go to appeal, the lower levels of the hierarchy seem to have operated in the classic bureaucratic style of always giving NO as the default answer and appeal was made a very efficient process to compensate).

Does the Scottish Peerage have anything relevant in it? It's not very reliable about women, but something like this ought be mentioned.
