Is Colman by any chance the father of Cecilia's son Lucas?

If so (and for any future issue of the Colman-Chancellor union), an
interesting ancestry table! What I can pull out of my memory is thus -

1.

2. John Powlett (Jo) Colman (b. 1962), second son of Sir Michael
Colman, 3rd Bt
3. Cecilia Mary Chancellor (b. 1966), mannequin

4. Sir Michael Jeremiah Colman, 3rd Baronet (b.
1928) =
5. Judith Jean Wallop William-Powlett, scion

of the Earls of Portsmouth

6. Alexander Surtees Chancellor (b.
1940) =
7. Susanna Elizabeth Debenham, scion of the
Debenham Baronets.

8. [Colman Bt]

11
12 Sir Christopher John Chancellor, CMG [brother of Rosemary
Chancellor, mother of Simon Elliot, now brother-in-law to HRH The
Prince of Wales], married in 1926,
13. Sylvia Mary Paget), 1st dau of Sir Richard Paget, 2nd Bt, of

Cranmore Hall (created in 1886)

24. Sir John Chancellor
25
26 Sir Richard Paget, 2nd Bt =
27 Lady Muriel Finch-Hatton, dau of the 12th Earl of Winchilsea &
Nottingham, himself 2nd surv son of the 10th Earl (1st son by his 2nd
wife Fanny Margaretta Rice, great-niece of the novelist Jane Austen and
niece of two wives of Lord George Hill)

At least, this is what I have off the top of my head.

I don't have the identity of Lucas's father. Cecilia's father,
Alexander Chancellor, also fathered a child out of wedlock earlier this
year.
