A strange coincidence that just three months earlier, Henry Crofton, son of the 9th Baronet of Mohill, became engaged to Baroness Sophie von Maltzahn. 

The Crofton of Mohill Baronets are only distantly related to the Lords Crofton, and Sophie von Maltzahn is only distantly related to Marie-Isabelle Maltzan, but still it was surprising to see the two engagements so close together.

Did they married?

[bx...@yahoo.com]

No and yes.

Per Debrett's Online Database:

In the case of the Crofton barony, the 8th Baron is still shown as unmarried.

In the case of Henry Crofton, the heir to the Crofton baronetcy mentioned in this thread, they married in 2018, and have a daughter born a year later.
