Kirwan-Taylor/Rausing marriage

[Jelena JS]

Lucy Rausing, 24, married photographer Constantin Kirwan-Taylor at the tiny St Mary's Church next to her father's £12 million estate near Tetbury.

Food-packaging giant Tetra Pak was founded by Lucy's great-grandfather Ruben. The family has an estimated £6 billion fortune.

I think that Constantin Kirwan-Taylor belongs to a collateral branch of the Barons Grantchester family. Maybe he is a grandson of Julia, Viscountess Lymington.

You're right, Jelena- several online sources had 'Helen Kirwan-Taylor' mention her son Constantin; a Times source shows a Charles Kirwan-Taylor to be married to Helen- https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/big-shot-charles-kirwan-taylor-kl0hzw90hpk - also a 2006 issue of 'Deal Pipeline' says of Charles Kirwan-Taylor "The British Kirwan-Taylor is married to Helen Kirwan-Taylor, an American jourmalist who writes about lifestyle issues". This Charles Kirwan-Taylor is Charles Patrick Kirwan-Taylor, as you identified, son of Julia (née Ogden) by her first husband, Peter Robin Kirwan-Taylor (1930-), of Bridgehampton, Suffolk County, N.Y., U.S.A., 2nd Lt Rifle Brigade etc. (per BP 2003).
