I have never heard of a man marrying  before he was born? Do either of the two brotherw have any male issue?

[marquess]

Debretts 2011 lists both sons as being married,  20 and 11 years respectively but neither are listed with any issue, does anyone have anymore information?  In addition there is a younger brother to the late baron who has been married thrice but has no male issue.
