STORMONTH DARLING, Peter M (1932-2019)

[Richard R]

From the Telegraph and Times of 19 September 2019: STORMONTH DARLING  Peter died peacefully on Monday 16th September. He is survived by Charlotte and his daughters Christa, Iona, and Arabella. He will be remembered as a wonderful father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Family funeral on Friday 20th. A memorial service will be held in early 2020. No flowers please. Donations to Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability.

He was s of Maj Patrick STORMONTH DARLING (1886-1960), scion of the Scots gentry family of that name of Lednathie, and his 2nd w (her 2nd h) Edith Mary Ormston LAMB (1893-1980), scion of the gentry family of that name of Knighton Manor. He m 1st 1958 Candis HITZIG (later Mrs Roberts). He m 2nd 1971 (reg Q3 London) Maureen O'LEARY (d 2015). He had three daus:

1. (Candis) Christa who m c1991 (the Times eng 1 Jan) Ian Morrison s of Joe TAYLOR of Garvagh, co Londonderry

2. Dr (Elizabeth) Iona who m 1985 (reg Q3 Berkshire) Dr Justin P s of Capt P COBB RN of Founders, Chobham, Surrey, and had, at least, a dau Zoe (b 1987, the Times 7 Oct)

3. Arabella who m c1998 (the Times eng 5 Sept) Jan Kurt s of Walter JOHANNES and Marguerite _ of Washington, USA.

There's probably much more that can be discovered and added to this (hint, hint) but, I have a full time job and can't spend my entire day on it!

A few additions:

Peter Stormonth Darling's middle name apparently 'Michael' (per user-created genealogy site).

Ian John Morrison Taylor (1960-), of Cheltenham, Glos., owner, Abbey Hotel, North Parade, Bath; couldn't find any evidence of children, in U.K. records or elsewhere.

Justin Peter Cobb is Professor of Orthopaedics, Imperial Coll. London; his father, Capt. Peter Cobb (1930-2017), O.B.E., was secretary, Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/215139/cobb). Per J.P. Cobb's Who's Who entry, three sons, one dau.; this corroborated by birth records: Oliver Justin Cobb (1989-) m. 2017 (per social media), Amalie Munk, she educ. Licensed Victuallers' Sch., Univ. of Durham, global head of compensation and benefits, Deliveroo; Hugo Peter Cobb (1992-); Joshua Henry Cobb (1996-); and as in Richard's post, Zoe Charlotte Cobb (1987-).

Arabella and Jan Johannes parents of Ella (c. 2003/4) per social media and http://www.theprairieflowerranch.com/who-we-are.html

No evidence of 'great-grandchildren' for the deceased; given Capt. Peter Cobb's death notice in the Telegraph only mentions 'father and grandfather', it might be concluded that none of the Cobb/ Stormonth Darling children have had issue; with Ella Johannes being too young, this may indicate possible children of Ian and Christa Taylor; however, given Oliver Cobb's c. 2017 marriage and the two years between P. Cobb and Peter Stormonth Darling's death notices, it's not unlikely the 'great-grandchild(ren)' be via this couple. Couldn't find any evidence online, though.

Now checked Burke's Landed Gentry of Scotland p277

His 1st wife's father was Dr William M HITZIG of 44 East 81st Street, New York, USA. His daus birth dates have been added to their details:
1. (Candis) Christa (b 1959) who m c1991 (the Times eng 1 Jan) Ian Morrison s of Joe TAYLOR of Garvagh, co Londonderry
2. Dr (Elizabeth) Iona (b 1960) who m 1985 (reg Q3 Berkshire) Dr Justin P s of Capt P COBB RN of Founders, Chobham, Surrey, and had, at least, a dau Zoe (b 1987, the Times 7 Oct)
3. Arabella (b 1962) who m c1998 (the Times eng 5 Sept) Jan Kurt s of Walter JOHANNES and Marguerite _ of Washington, USA.

BLG Scotland gives the date of his 2nd m to Maureen O'Leary as 1970, but my date is from Ancestry where his spouse is described as "Maureen O Clench" and the registration date is July 1971 (ie Q3) in the district of Chelsea. Maureen O O'LEARY (birth date 1931, died 2015) m 1st 1957 (reg Q3 Oxfordshire) to John Anthony R CLENCH (1926-2001)

William Maxwell Hitzig, M.D. was a well-known doctor in New York. A cardiologist and internist, he was a “society” doctor who made house calls even to non-famous patients. His patients included Pearl Bailey, Eugene Istomin, Haile Selassie, V.K. Krishna Menon, Norman Cousins, Dixie Carter, Joe Papp, Jennie Grossinger and other prominent individuals.  More notably, he aided Japanese women from Hiroshima who had been disfigured by the atomic bomb, and Polish women victimized by Nazi medical experiments at Ravensbrück.

William Maxwell Hitzig was born 15 December 1904 at Bukowina, Austria to Maier Hitzig and his wife Jennie. He emigrated to the United States on the vessel Imperator, leaving Hamburg 28 May 1914 and arriving in New York on 3 June 1914. He was naturalized a U.S. citizen on 4 June 1929 in the District Court of Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from Columbia College in 1926 and Cornell University Medical College four years later, with subsequent training at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. He became an attending physician at Mount Sinai and at Doctors Hospital, and was an NYPD police surgeon and Assistant Professor of clinical medicine at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons.

He married Candis Irene Hall (Buffalo, New York 25 May 1907—Lewisburg, West Virginia 12 January 2003) on 9 March 1934 at New Rochelle, Westchester Co., New York. She was the daughter of Myron Shelley Hall, banker (1877-1963) and his first wife Lillian Arthur (~1878—1925), and,  after becoming the first woman to journey from New York to California in 1928, became one of the early female pilots when that was still rare, though she flew only for pleasure after the births of her children.

Together they had seven children, 4 sons and 3 daughters, between 1936 and 1949.  I do not have the date that they divorced, but Candis married Frank Gullino (1915-1988) in 1970.

William M. Hitzig died on 27 August 1983 at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, and was buried in Mount Hebron Cemetery, Flushing, Queens, New York.

The daughter of William Maxwell Hitzig and Candis Irene Hall, Candis Hall Hitzig, was born on 30 July 1936 in New York City. In 1954 she was one of 12 American debutantes presented to the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret.
