Harper / FELLOWES engagement

[Richard R]

From the Times of 29 Sept 2021: MR G. M. HARPER AND MISS S. G. L. FELLOWES The engagement is announced between George, youngest son of Mr and Mrs Michael Harper of Eggington, Bedfordshire, and Sophia, second daughter of Lt Col and Mrs Roger Fellowes of Deptford, Wiltshire.

Sophia G. L[yon] who I take to be the dau of Roger James Lyon FELLOWES b 1952 scion of that gentry family of Shotesham Park by his 1980 m reg Q3 Kent to Fiona M[ary] b 1956 d of Denis William Venables Patrick O'FLAHERTY 1920-80 by his 3 March 1947 m (Japan) to Jill Staveley GRANT. The Roger Fellowes also had a son (Thomas Errol L[yon] O'Flaherty b 1982 reg Q4 Kent) and two more daus (Fenella Alice L[yon] b 1984 reg Q3 Kent and Rose b 1989 reg Q3 London)

I'd welcome additions/amendments to this post.

Related to the 2 Lord Fellowes?

[S R Eglesfield]

There is a common descent from William FELLOWES (died 14 XII 1676) and his wife (married 27 IX 1653), Susannah COULSON. Their eldest son, William FELLOWES (4 X 1660 - 19 I 1724), was the ancestor of the Barons de Ramsey through his eldest son, Coulson FELLOWES (12 X 1696 - 23 II 1769), while his third son, William FELLOWES (28 VII 1705 - 30 I 1775) was the father of ROBERT FELLOWES (1742 - 8 IV 1829), who was the 3 x greats-grandfather of Robert FELLOWES, Baron Fellowes [of Shotesham in the County of Norfolk], GCB, GCVO, QSO, PC (born 11 XII 1941) and the 4 x greats-grandfather of Lt Col Roger James Lyon FELLOWES (these two are therefore fourth cousins, once removed).

The second son of William FELLOWES AND Susannah COULSON, Thomas FELLOWES (3 V 1663 - 1748) was the 5 x greats-grandfather of Julian Alexander KITCHENER-FELLOWES, Baron Fellowes of West Stafford, DL (born 17 VIII 1949). Lord Fellowes of West Stafford is therefore a seventh cousin of Lord Fellowes [of Shotesham] and a seventh cousin, once removed upwards, of Lt Col Fellowes.

Lord Fellowes [of Shotesham] and Lt Col Roger FELLOWES also have a common descent from the Hon Thomas Lyon MP (1741 - 1796), the third son of the 8th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne (they are fourth cousins, once removed, through this relationship also).
