Marten / Grenfell engagement

[Richard R]

This is a speculative posting as I haven't established a connection to any of the families of whom we treat. But Julian is a frequent enough name in the family of the barons GRENFELL to embolden me to post this here, in the hope that brighter brains than mine will unearth the connection! There are no refs to Algernen or Daryl in the published pedigree of the barons GRENFELL.

 

From the Telegraph of 12 April 2012:

 

Mr N.J. Marten and Miss S.M.T. Grenfell

The engagement is announced between Nicholas, eldest son of Mrs Monya Marten, of Taunton, and the late Mr Joseph Marten, and Suzanna, eldest daughter of Mrs Julian Grenfell, of Parkgate, Cheshire, and the late Mr Julian Grenfell.

 

Suzanna Mary T (b 1968, reg September, Cheshire) is the eldest of 3 daus of (Algernon Daryl) Julian GRENFELL and Janet Mary d of Air Commodore Sir James Alfred EASTON KCMG CB CBE (1908-90) of 71 Cornwall Gardens and his 1^st w Anna Mary (d 1977) d of Lieut-Col J A McKENNA of Ottawa.

Julian Grenfell is a descendant of  the Rev. Algernon Sidney Grenfell d. 1887, proprietor/headmaster of Mostyn House School, here in sunny Cheshire. Although there are one or two interesting military figures who descend from the Rev. Algernon, I can't find any link to the baronial family, though that's not to say a link doesn't exist.

Further investigation leads me to believe that Julian is indeed related to the barons Grenfell. They both share a descent from Hercules Grenfield d. c. 1637.

Can you cite any of the sources for this? Thanks
