[Michael Rhodes]

__The engagement was announced 19 Aug 2010 between Thomas Charles
Townshend, styled Viscount Raynham (b 2 Nov 1977), son and heir of the
8th Marquess Townshend (b 26 Sep 1945) by his late wife, the former
Hermione Ponsnby (see Bessborough E), & Olivia Legge, dau of Mr & Mrs
Christopher Legge.

Is the bride-to-be a scion of the Earls of Dartmouth? I'm having
trouble locating her if so. I can see a Christopher Walter Legge b
circa 1955) but is he wed?

According to his Times engagement note (28.4.76), Christopher David
Legge is the son of Patrick Legge of Litton Cheney, Dorset. I'm unable
to connect either to the Dartmouths. But that's not to say there isn't
a connection.....

I`m confused, is the bride to be called Olivia or Octavia?

[marquess]

Well you can become engaged to two people I suppose, and then chose
one to marry!

It's Octavia according to the Telegraph announcement:

The engagement is announced between Viscount Raynham, son of Marquess
Townshend, of Raynham Hall, and the late Viscountess Raynham and
stepson of Marchioness Townshend, and Octavia, daughter of Mr and Mrs
Christopher Legge, of Kingsclere, Hampshire.
