I have information on grandsons! Kindly contributed by a member of
another family, who has information
The Hon. Alexander John Charles Martin Jolliffe (b. 1973), third son
of the 5th Baron Hylton, married 2000 Helen Archer, daughter of Mr
Neville Archer, of Buckland Newton, Dorse, and Mrs Simon Ashenden, of
London SW6. Was she the twin sister (certainly the sister) of Kate R.
Archer who married 10 June 2006 Mark W.R. Hoare,
elder son of Mr & Mrs Christopher Hoare, of Coopersale, Essex.
According to the informant:
Hon Alex Joliffe and his wife Helen now have a son Dominic Alexander
Raymond, born on 7 May 2008. Yippee!
He is line to the peerage after his father, his father's older
brothers (and any sons they may have in the future).
Succession:
1. Hon. William Henry Martin Jolliffe b. 1 Apr 1967
2. Hon. Andrew Thomas Peter Jolliffe b. 29 Jun 1969
3. Hon. Alexander John Charles Martin Jolliffe b. 10 Feb 1973; md 2000
Helen Archer; issue
3.1. Dominic Alexander Raymond Jolliffe b. 7 May 2008.
4. Hon. John Edward Arthur Jolliffe b. 1977
I have an interest in this family for a couple of reasons:
a) the Baroness Hylton, born de Bertodano (interesting family in of
itself), is maternally descended from the Savile earls of Mexborough,
and thus related to two Catholic families I follow - the Eystons of
East Hendreds and the Scropes of Danby (branches descended from
sisters of the mother of Lady Hylton).
b) the Lord Hylton is the son of Lady Perdita Asquith, whose
nonagenarian brother is still alive. His mother converted to
Catholicism and I believe raised all her children as Catholics.
Raymond was the name of her husband Raymond Asquith (killed in the
First World war) and thus the name of Lord Joliffe (their grandson);
it is also the name of Viscount Asquith, whose only son Hon Mark
Asquith married recently. Dominic is the name of Lord Oxford's younger
brother, a former British Ambassador to Iraq.
I am afraid that I have no further Jolliffe information, not having
seen Debretts 2008. Every time I go to the library, I mean to, but I
get distracted! (The library is under renovation in any case).
