In working through Debrett's Peerage and Baronetage 2019 I have come across a few names that appeared in Debrett's 2015 but are omitted from the latest edition from which I assume they are now deceased.  However I have been unable to find any record of death and no mention, so far as I can tell, on this Group.  I wonder if anyone can help.  Many live abroad so perhaps difficult to find out  There are some other queries as well.

Here are a few to start with:

ALLAN OF KILMAHEW LP – Baroness (Maureen) Allan of Kilmahew

ARGYLL D – Margaret Mary Campbell b 1915 (dau of Col James Donald Campbell DSO 1884-1974)

BEAUFORT D – Barbara Joan Somerset b 1933 of Queensland Aus; Winifred Mary Moult nee Somerset b 1925 of South Africa?; Cecily Mary Adelaide Howe-Ely nee Somerset b 1919 of South Africa

BELHAVEN and STENTON L – Julia Agnes Whitman nee Hamilton b 1908 of Queensland Aus;  Olivia Jessie Rockett b 1913, Margaret Jean McCulloch b 1915 and Kepple Osborne Milton b 1917 (all nee Hamilton)

BOLINGBROKE and ST JOHN V –Lila Ramona del Rosario Christensen nee St John of Argentina b 1910; Rosa Pastora Garcia nee St John of Argentina b 1916

BOSTON B – Nancy Carthy nee Irby b 1926 of Adelaide S Aus

BROWN LP – Baroness (Marjorie Hershell) Brown

BUTE M - Francis John Stephen McDouall b 1969 of Johannesburg

  • Ellen Coverdale Anderson nee McDouall b 1928 of NZ

  • Patricia Hastings Limburg nee McDouall b 1916 of NSW

CARBERY B – Jose Evans b 1929 (of NZ?)

  • Fabienne Grenfell nee Evans b 1932 of NZ

CLARENDON E – Sylvia Betty Sirakos nee Hyde b 1915

COTTESLOE B – Craig Leeson Stopford b 1939

Here is a death of a Nancy Carthy, née Irby, in a 21 Apr 2014 newspaper. Is it the right one?

This site says Ellen Anderson died in 2010, but I don't know on what authority they say so.


And I suppose that "Cottesloe" should be "Courtown". I found an obit for Craig's brother but not for him.

Many thanks for the replies

Henry W - I should really have checked the DT announcements but I thought we already had this covered - I suppose there will always be some that slip through the net!

dpth - yes, the Nancy Carthy was the correct one, thanks - don't think I would have found such an obscure newspaper...  Also, yes, should have been Courtown not Cottesloe - distinct disengagement of hand from brain, all too common nowadays

As for Olivera Graham, I cannot find a death record, but her married name was Richards, if that helps. See this link for info about her husband.


Since he died so long ago she may have re-married.

How is she related to baronets? Also there were 3 creations of Balfour baronets: Balfour baronets, of Denmiln and Kinnaird (1633), Balfour baronets, of Albury Lodge (1911) and Balfour baronets, of Sheffield (1929), later Barons Riverdale but I guess she is not scion from later one.

Yes, I know you do. But I always think it the best practice, when presenting new information which is not available in books and other authoritative sources, to state the source of the information, so that others can decide for themselves whether they think it is reliable.

In working through Debrett's Peerage and Baronetage 2019 I have come across a few names that appeared in Debrett's 2015 but are omitted from the latest edition from which I assume they are now deceased.  However I have been unable to find any record of death and no mention, so far as I can tell, on this Group.  I wonder if anyone can help.  Many live abroad so perhaps difficult to find out  There are some other queries as well.
