husband Patrick Hugh Filmer-Sankey was the elder son (of 2) of Lady
Ursula Grosvenor (1902-1978) - herself elder daughter of Hugh
Grosvenor, 2nd duke of Westminster - by her first husband William
Filmer-Sankey.
Though the Westmister's are Anglican William Filmer-Sankey & his
descendants are Catholic.
Josephine Griffin was the only dau of Ronald Griffin (son of Sir Lepel
Henry Griffin, KCSI), and Patience ...., she married Patrick Hugh
Filmer-Sankey at the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, Warwick St.,
London 11 October 1956.
She wrote 1 book about the Bayeux tapestry.
Josephine Filmer-Sankey will be buried Bruera, nr Saighton, Cheshire
where her husband's aunt Lady Mary Grosvenor (& presumably other family
members) are buried. There was/is a Westmister family property at
Saighton.
I know the Filmer-Sankey's have been mentioned here before but I've
find information thin on the ground (nothing in the Times online) re
the death of Patrick, the birth & marriage William & the births of his
children, and the marriages - if any - of Josephine's nephew's Dominic
& Christopher.
