Helen, Lady Dufferin, and came across this little gem about her grandson. Don. Public Records Office, N.Ireland. The 4th Marquess of Dufferin and Ava (1909-1945) The 4th Marquess's political career was interrupted, first by the war, and then by his early death. |

As for labelling the post BS, since it is only marginally concerned with music, I feel that that is the correct heading. You'll find the source here in the second paragraph. Don. |

It is really tricky to re-incarnate in your own line of succession, and requires a very intense focus. Not the sort of intensity one associates with the peers, at all. A |
