Henry William Baines SALLITT (born 26 VII 1962) is the son of Timothy William Baines SALLITT, CBE (21 III 1934 - 8 VIII 2008), for whom, see earlier posting at https://groups.google.com/g/peerage-news/c/wo1I-1uaxfw/m/4w3Ap9QpAQAJ.

The only Millie May WRIGHT I can find is one whose birth was registered in Pontypool in Q2 1877. I suspect that she was the Millie M MELLARD whose death was registered in Paddington Q4 1914; although Free BMD shows her age at death as 34, rather than 37 as she would have been, inaccuracies in the index of deaths are not unknown.
