Peter Gellhorn has a Wikipedia entry for the interested, as does the
1st Baron Layton.
There are some interesting connections with the Plumptre landed family
(see Jane Austen family memoirs - her brother Edward Austen later
Knight married Elizabeth Bridges - and the Bridges Bt/Fitzwalter B
families) and the Coote family.
