Per Burke's Family Index, Tooker of Norton Hall last appeared in Burke's Landed Gentry (BLG) in the 1850/3 edition, the relevant pages of which can be found at https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nnc1.0037127365&view=1up&seq=428&q1=Tooker and https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nnc1.0037127365&view=1up&seq=429&q1=Tooker.

 

The late Mrs Pardoe's father, Hyde Charnock WHALLEY-TOOKER (1 IX 1900 - 16 I 1992), Director of Studies in Law at Cambridge University, married her mother, Frances HALSTED (25 I 1896 - 31 X 1987), in 1935. Mr Whalley-Tooker was the son of Edward WHALLEY-TOOKER, JP (15 I 1863 - 23 XI 1940) and his wife (married 24 VI 1896), Dorothea Caroline CHARNOCK (27 VII 1873 - 8 III 1962).

 

Dorothea Charnock was daughter of James Lawrence CHARNOCK (c.1845/6 - 13 I 1887) and his wife (married 26 VII 1871), Bertha GODMAN (c.1846/7 - 14 V 1925), of that LG family of Park Hatch, Surrey.

 

Edward Whalley-Tooker was the son of Hyde WHALLEY-TOOKER (26 XII 1825 - 27 XII 1879) and his wife (married 1857) Beatrice Mary Ann(e) BARKER (c.1829 - 1913). Hyde Whalley-Tooker himself appears in the BLG article as the only son of the Head of the family, Hyde Salmon WHALLEY-TOOKER (2 IV 1790 - ?).

 

From the pedigrees in the BLG article, one can see that Hyde Salmon Whalley-Tooker was a 4 x greats-grandson of Sir Nicholas HYDE (V 1572 - 26 VIII 1631), whose brother Henry HYDE (c.1563 - 29 IX 1634) was the father of Edward HYDE, 1st Earl of Clarendon (18 II 1609 - 9 XII 1674), who was himself the maternal grandfather of Queen MARY II and Queen ANNE. Hyde Salmon Whalley-Tooker was therefore a third cousin three times removed downwards of those two Queens, and  his great-great-granddaughter, the late Mrs Pardoe, was their third cousin seven times removed downwards.
