It wasn't exactly love at a gallop, but four years after they met Emma
Candy, elder daughter of popular trainer Henry Candy, is to marry
divorcee Rupert Erskine Crum, whose business transports race horses
all over the country.

Rupert, whose cousin Douglas Erskine Crum was chief executive of Ascot
Racecourse, and Emma met at the Newmarket horse sales.

'Our eyes didn't exactly meet over a crowded room because at that time
he was married,' says Emma, who works for James Fanshawe in Newmarket.
'But he phoned me about 18 months ago after his divorce and asked me
out.'

Yet their romance has been long-distance because while she is based in
Suffolk, Rupert's firm is in Lambourn, Berks. 'I don't know where we
will live after we marry - we'll work it out later,' she says.

The answer is they were Rupert's great uncle and great aunt and were
the younger brother and sister of Rupert's grandfather Walter Donald
Charles Erskine Crum (1911-?). The latter's son (Walter) Simon Erskine
Crum is Rupert's father. Rupert's mother is Gillian dau of Air
Commodore L G Levis of Wellingore, Lincoln and she married Rupert's
father in 1964.
The Times 1971 obit of Lt Gen Vernon Erskine Crum incorrectly states
his father was Sir WILLIAM when, in fact, he was Sir WALTER Erskine
Crum (1874-1923), the same father as Walter Donald Charles & Isla
Margaret, later Lady Gladstone. (Sources for the correct info include
Vernon's Times marriage notice and the Knightage section of the 1923
edition of Debrett's.)
Rupert is Douglas Erskine Crum's 1st cousin once removed.

The bride to be is Emma Juliet (b 1974) the dau of Henry D N B CANDY
(s of Derrick Warren John Candy) and Virginia Marjorie (b 1945) dau of
W/Cdr William James Maitland Longmore, CBE, RAF (d 1988, Maitland Bt &
Braybrooke B ancestry) 2nd son of ACM Sir Arthur Longmore, GCB, DSO (d
1970). W/Cdr Longmore m 1941 the Hon Jean Mary (b 1919) dau of 2nd
Baron Forres (1888-1954) & Jessica (d 1972) dau of William Alfred
Harford, JP, of Petty France, Badminton.
