McCONNEL
"I've no idea if Frederick Bradshaw McConnel, father of Elisabeth,
Duchess of Roxburghe (mother of the present Duke), was a grandson of
Thomas Houldsworth McConnel, William McConnel of Knockdolian, or some
other McConnel." [Those two McConnels were ancestors of Diana Ruth,
Duchess of Wellington (b. 1921)].
The two duchesses were actually first cousins once removed (Diana,
Duchess of Wellington was daughter of a first cousin of Elisabeth,
Duchess of Roxburghe)
