GODFREY-FAUSSETT, Capt Thomas Fermor (1932-2020)

[Richard R]

From the Telegraph and Times of 18 July 2020: GODFREY-FAUSSETT Thomas Fermor died peacefully on 12 July 2020 following a fall. Much loved and loving husband of Anne and of their children Fiona, Peter, Hugo and Charles. Tom will be remembered as a wonderful grandfather and great-grandfather and with great affection by his friends....

He was s of Rev Peter GODFREY-FAUSSETT CBE (1902-82), scion of the gentry family of that name formerly of Heppington, and Edith Nancy (1907-95) d of John Archibald PRINGLE (1873-1952) and Edith Margaret Holme WOODCOCK (1872-1953). He m 1956 Anne Catherine (b 1934 reg Q2 Bucks) d of Dr Charles Walter SIMPSON MC (1897-1981) of Beaconsfield, Bucks by his 1930 m (reg Q2 London) to Margery Joan BEACH (1904-2004), and had two sons and a dau as above.

Either a mistake in the announcement or they have one more son.

The second son, born 1963, is in Burke's Peerage as Charles Hugo.

There however is also a Charles T Godfrey-faussett in Ancestry, mother's maiden name Simpson, whose birth was registered (in another place as the other children) in July-September 1965.

It appears that they have four children, as in the announcement: Professor Peter Fermor (born 1959), (Charles) Hugo (born 1963), Charles Thomas (born 1965) and Fiona Mary (born 1958). It is a bit confusing that two of the sons have the same first christian name, albeit that Hugo is known by his middle name.
