Per Burke's, sub Ingleby (1st Viscount Ingleby was her husband's brother), Santa Maria Peake, née Freiin von Henikstein, died 27 March 1999. However, findagrave.com says she died 8 April 1999. Does anyone know which is correct?
Perhaps the April date is the burial date?
I already found problems with the findagrave entries. First. there are two of them:
I have already submitted a request that they be merged. On her husband's page one can see a photograph of the gravestone, on which she is named, though her dates are not given.
Findagrave also errs about her date of birth. Maria Santina Franziska de Paula Gabrielle Freiin von Henikstein was born at Aigen bei Salzburg on 22 July 1911, according to Gothaische Genealogisches Taschenbuch 1919. See here:

On findagrave.com, it says that the death date given may be the interment date (as is quite often the case on that website). Probate records, however, show that she died on 27 March 1999, and those records are almost always correct.

She does have distant British ancestry. Among other things her mother was a Gräfin O'Donell von Tyrconnel (originally an irish family), and she descends through them from Eduard Pfalzgraf von Simmern, grandson of King James I & VI.
