In looking up Anno Birkin (d. 2001) I discovered that his fiancee
Honeysuckle Weeks (b. 1 August 1979 Cardiff), now acting in Foyle's
War, has married Tibetan antiquities/ art deal Lorne Stormonth-Darling
(b. 21 July 1963). They first married in 2005, but the wedding was
not valid under British law. They married again in July 2007 at
Barlavington, West Sussex.

Lorne Stormonth-Darling is one of three sons of Robin Andrew Stormonth-
Darling (b. 1 Oct 1926; of the BLG family of Lednathuie) by his former
wife Susan Marion Clifford-Turner, daughter of Raymond Clifford-
Turner, later wife of Colin Ingleby-Mackenzie, OBE (11933-2006). He
has two brothers Rory Stormonth-Darling and Andrew Stormonth-Darling,
a sister Mrs Tim Bennett, and a half-sister now Mrs William Elgood
(since before 2006)

Honeysuckle Weeks, actress, b. 1979, is the eldest child (of three)
and elder daughter of Robin Weeks and his former wife Susan Wade
Weeks, now Conservative candidate for York. Educated at Roedean.
