More interestingly, her late husband was the half-nephew of Virginia
Woolf and Vanessa Bell through Sir George Duckworth (5 March 1868-).
The Duckworths apparently reacted badly to claims by either Virginia
or Vanessa that their elder half-brothers played rather rough games
(allegedly veering on molestation) with their pretty half-sisters.
Henry's brother was father of Anthony Duckworth-Chad, whose elder son
James is married to Lady Laura Fortescue-Gore, elder daughter of the
earl of Arran, and whose daughter Davina (now married to Harry Barber,
heir to a baronetcy and the mother of twin daughters) was a Deb of the
Year, I think. Anthony Duckworth-Chad's wife Elizabeth (nee Wake-
Walker, of another baronetcy) was Princess Diana's first cousin via
the Spencers.

The Duckworth house Dalingridge Place, in the family since 1910, was
on the market in June 2008 - Katherine Duckworth, widow of Henry,
still lived there

"Meanwhile, Sir George Duckworth married the Countess of Carnarvon,
whose brother went off to Egypt to discover Tutankhamun's tomb in
1922." (ouch! - she was his half-sister, I believe and her sister-in-
law was the Countess). I believe that Herbert Fisher, the architect,
was another relation via the Pattles. So was Evelyn Waugh, writer,
whose first wife Evelyn (She-Evelyn) was elder sister of Lady Margaret
Duckworth, and whose second wife Laura (also nee Herbert) was a cousin
of Lady Margaret.

Gerald Duckworth (1870-1937) founded the publishing house and his wife
was Cecil Scott-Chad, hence the Duckworth-Chad name acquired by
Gerald's nephew.
