The groom-to-be's grandfather (Col. Sir John Renton Aird, 3rd Bt.) was
married to Lady Priscilla Heathcote-Drummond-Willoughby, younger
daughter of the 2nd Earl of Ancaster.

Lady Priscilla is/was (I think she may have passed away but I'm not
sure-- she was born in 1909) the aunt of the current Baroness (in her
own right) Willougby de Eresby. Lady Priscilla is/was (there I go
again!) co-heiress presumptive of her niece's barony.

This would mean Sir George John Aird, 4th Bt. and his son Dr. James
John Aird are in remainder to the Barony of Willoughby de Eresby.

Anyone who can clarify further is welcome to respond!
