Dear Rene
It is of great pleasure to inform you that our investigation into the mystery surrounding the birth of Peter Charles Algernon Ascroft Greville born 1916 at Ankerwycke Priory has turned up results to prove he was the second son of Charles Beresford Fulke Greville, 3rd Baron Greville of Westmeath.
Ronald Fulke Greville 4th Baron Greville passed away in 1987 leaving no known issue, but unbeknown to many there was a second brother who was conceived in September 1915, the mother being Cecil Violet Enid Greville, youngest daughter to Brooke Southwell Greville, Kings Messenger. This lady was the neice to Charles Beresford Fulke Greville 3rd Baron Greville. The mother Cecil Violet Enid Greville was sent by the senior Greville family members to Ankerwycke Priory the home of her cousin Lord Guy Elliot Harcourt. The baby was born June 27th 1916 and named Peter Charles Algernon Greville Ascroft. The Greville family paid for his schooling and the child was sent to his first boarding school aged just four years of age.
The family secret remained secret for many years until the young Peter was told in 1947 by his aunt Lady Margaret Greville of Polesdon Lacey who his real father was. Young Peter then changed his name correctly to Peter Charles Algernon Greville, married in 1950 a June Palmer and had five Children. The eldest son was Christopher Brooke Fulke Greville born 1951, was birth registered Christopher Brooke Fulke-Greville, (so as to never lose the name Fulke-Greville, there was placed a hyphon).
Peter Charles Algernon Greville should have been entitled to the estate and Barony of the late Ronald Fulke Greville, his older brother, after Baron Greville died in 1987. Upon the death of Peter Charles Algernon Greville in 2007, the Barony should have been passed on to his eldest son Christopher Brooke Fulke-Greville.
Debrett's and Burkes Peerage recognised this direct lineage and placed this family into the 2003 edition. Charles Kidd the editor met with certain stone walls from other members of the Greville family because they never knew the existence of this family mystery. Now it is known Christopher B Fulke-Greville has obtained DNA samples and results and is determined to regain the Barony and it's estates.
Kindest Regards
Chris Greville.
