Lady Janet Douglas Pennant died last Nov., aged 74

Born Lady Janet Pelham on 17 Oct 1923, she was daughter of the 6th Earl of
Yarborough and his wife, a daughter of the 3rd Baron Penrhyn.

In 1948 she married John Charles Harper Douglas Pennant (is he still
alive?), and she is survived by their two sons (and possibly by him).

In which case it should be 1923-97.

Is there any justifiable reason for posting 9 month-old news to the ng?

Who was it that said, "Journalism is the act of saying 'Lord Snowden is dead'
to people who were unaware that Lord Snowden was alive"?

That's what this belated report brought to mind.
