Some further information with regard to Maj George Malcolm GRAHAM (1922 - 22 VII 1980), the husband (married 3 IV 1948) of Elizabeth Olive GRAHAM, née THOMPSON (15 VI 1923 - 9 I 2002?).
 
He was the son of Maj John Malcolm GRAHAM (16 XII 1884 - 31 V 1976) and his wife (married 1921, as her second husband), Mrs Eleonora Mary LLOYD, née LAWRENCE (18 XII 1887 - 21 V 1927). Mrs Lloyd's first husband (married 4 I 1913) was Maj John Francis Selby LLOYD (10 IX 1881 - 18 VI 1915; killed in action), of that landed gentry (LG) family, of Dolobran, Montgomeryshire, by whom she had one child, Patricia Frances Alice LLOYD (19 X 1914 - 28 IX 2013), the wife (married 15 IX 1936) of Kenneth Mackenzie Donald MILLS (6 VI 1912 - 30 IV 1982).
 
The younger son of Mr and Mrs Kenneth Mills, David Mackenzie Donald MILLS (born 31 V 1944), was the second husband (married 1979, as his second wife) of the suo jure Life Peeress Baroness Jowell, DBE, PC, by whom he had a son and a daughter, the son being the Hon Matthew Marino Kenneth Mackenzie MILLS (born c.1984), who is himself the husband (married 23 IV 2016) of Eleanor Laura Davan ("Ella") WOODWARD (born 31 V 1991), a great-granddaughter of the Life Peer Baron Sainsbury.
 
Mrs Eleonora Graham, formerly Lloyd, née Lawrence, was the daughter of George Patrick Charles LAWRENCE (c.1859 - 18 IV 1908) and his wife (married 8 VIII 1883), the Hon Hildegarde DAVEY (1863 - 5 VI 1927), eldest daughter of the Law Life Peer, Baron Davey. George Lawrence was himself a son of George Alfred LAWRENCE (25 III 1827 - 23 IX 1876) and his wife (married 1851), Mary Ann Georgiana KIRWAN, of that family, of Gregg Castle, County Galway, which, per Burke's Family Index, last appeared in Burke's LG in the 1912 edition. Mary Kirwan's mother was a sister of the 1st Baron Oranmore and Browne.

With regard to the Kirwan family, it should say in my posting above that, per Burke's Family Index, they last appeared in Burke's LG of Ireland in the 1912 edition.
