He will have many interesting descents, but here is one:

Through the Chichester-Constables and the Baker-Cresswells, he descends from the marriage of Sir William Gordon Gordon-Cumming, 2nd Bt. (20 Jul 1787-25 Nov 1854) and his first wife, Eliza Maria Campbell (d.1842), herself a maternal granddaughter of the 5th Duke of Argyll.

I originally wrote, and then deleted: "Rodrica Consuela Chichester-Constable's mother was Inez Quilter, of the Baronets, a descendant of the marriage between the 3rd Lord Lyttelton and his wife, Lady Sarah Spencer."

Sorry.. I'm wrong about that. Inez Quilter was her step-grandmother, I think. As Richard said, Rodrica's mother must have been Laurel Gay Sawbridge.
