An apparent heir for 10th Lord Graves?

[Richard R]

DPB records the 10th Lord Grave's 2012 m to Margaret Eileen dau of Ronald Grant WORMALD but gives not issue from this marriage (neither in print nor online).

Ronald Wormald’s legacy notice mentions four sets of children and in-laws ending with ‘Margaret and Tim’ and then lists four sets of grandchildren ending with ‘Eli and Amos’ – assuming Eli is a dau, could AMOS be the son and ha of the 10th Baron?

I could have overlooked something in checking  the GRO index, but I found no births between 2012 and 2018 for any GRAVES/WORMALD child, male or female.

The closest was finding an Eli Daniel GRAVES, DOR Q3 in 2017 in Plymouth. No mother's maiden name is listed.

Maybe they were born outside of England or maybe adopted?

DPB 2019 states that Lord Graves lived in Deloraine, Tasmania, Australia with Mr Wormald having been resident in Warrnambool, Victoria, Australia (where the firm providing funeral services was based as stated in the notice)

Eli can certainly be a boys' name - in the Bible he raised the prophet Samuel

Modern Australian records are notoriously private, so it would appear we might not find out until the passing of the present baron.

Social media checks indicate that Maggie Wormald has two sons: Eli Warren & Amos Warren.  From a 2014 photo it is evident both were at least aged 20 then.  They were therefore born before Maggie Wormald's marriage to 10th Baron Graves.  I would surmise they are children of a previous marriage.

Thanks Henry. I'd hoped by posting what I did that someone would check out social media channels, which appears to confirm they are both adult males from Lady Graves' previous marriage. So it looks like the 10th Baron will be the last title holder of his line.

Richard,  

Nice work.  You have us brief hope, but it wasn't meant to be!

And thanks, Henry, for finding the answer to the question.
