The new British High Commissioner to Tanzania (new since April 2006
anyway) is Philip John Parham, married since 1985 to Anna Catherine
Giedroyc, a Polish princess with Polish and British ancestry. See
http://pages.prodigy.net/ptheroff/gotha/giedroyc.html
Mr Parham is the son of John Carey Parham and his wife Christian
Fitzherbert, daughter of Cuthbert Fitzherbert and his wife Barbara
Scrope, elder dau of Henry Aloysius Scrope of Danby by his wife Maria
Mercedes de Laski [herself of interesting ancestry]. His late
maternal aunt Mary Fitzherbert, later Lady Towneley was married to a
cousin Sir Simon Towneley, stepson of Lord Norman and brother of Sir
Peregrine Worsthorne [their father was Alexander Koch de Gooreynd who
changed his surname several times].
Philip and Kasia Parham have issue seven children - five sons and two
daughters. According to an official site, their children
Five sons (1988,1989,1990,1992,1996) and two daughters (1986 & 1994)

I believe that Dominic Asquith, late Ambassador to Iraq, and his wife
the former Louise Cotton, had only four children. Is Mr and Mrs
Parham's family the largest ambassador/ high commissional family at
present?

Most interesting, I hadn't realised the Giedroyc where aka the
princely Guedroitz.
Kasia Parham sisters are the prolific British TV directer Coky (Mary
Rose) Giedroyc (Lady Bowyer-Smyth) and the comedian/actor Mel Giedroyc
married to an old Downside/Ampleforth boy, though her marital details
are missing from Theroff.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Giedroyc
She has two children
Florence (born: 2002), and Vita (born: February, 2004).
Her husband's name is Dan, but no details are provided from the
extract, other than that he worked
as a subtitler during her first pregnancy (2001-2002?).
