MONTAGU, Lady Emma (HODGKINSON) (1965-2014)

[colinp]

DPB online records her death in 2014 - she is the sister of the Duke of Manchester. She m 2001 Lance Vincent HODGKINSON.  No issue listed in DPB2019 - the last print edition.  She retained her maiden surname and her occupation is given as "Analyst".  DPB online states her husband's occupation as Project and Development Manager, Property Finance, Hamptons Property Services of Leura, NSW.  Her address in DPB 2019 was in Victoria

DPB online now records she had a son Nicholas James HODGKINSON of Castelmaine, Victoria b 2002 and educated at various schools and occupation "Sacristan".  He is stated to have been adopted by "a current peer" presumably the current peer ie the present Duke, maybe after his sister's death.  DPB therefore accords him the courtesy title of "Lord".  I shall have to update my list here -   Lord AB Smith (google.com)

Lord Nicholas is on various social media including YouTube and LInkedIn where he is described as CEO of Castlemaine Incense and is pictured wearing (his adopted father's?) parliamentary robe and carrying a coronet.  All very curious.  Among his "Skills" on LinkedIn are Monarchs, Pallace, Elizbeth ii, Aristocrcy, Royal cornation - so orthography is not one of his Skills.

[Peter FitzGerald]

Attempts have previously been made to edit the Wikipedia article for the Dukedom of Manchester to include this Nicholas as someone in the line of succession with the courtesy title “Lord”. The latter now makes sense given the apparent adoption, but of course adoption would not grant him any succession rights.
