about the bridegroom, where I gain the following information:
Robert Howard has worked since 1993 at Charles Stanley, where he is now a senior compliance officer. He holds an Oxford Blue in Rowing, and is Governor of
Capel Manor College and a Trustee of the Central Foundations Schools in London. [This is beginning to sound like a NYT wedding
notice, but I initially had no information about his family]

Thanks for all the research on the Howard side, Shinjinee- always very interesting (and useful) to know the things these announcements leave unsaid!

You are welcome.  I was actually looking up something else re Asquith when I spotted the little thank you note and thus found the wedding.  Has anyone found a notice in the Times, Telegraph etc?  Her brother's engagement was announced and her nephew's birth discussed in the Daily Mail, so I would think...

Obviously, not that spelling but "Maggie".  This is why I shouldn't post after 2 AM!a

Has there yet been any confirmation of this wedding in Debrett's? Especially, has the groom definitely been identified as the son of Sir David Howard, 3rd Bt.?

Dear Paul 

First Happy New Year!

 I hope that you have had good health and stay healthy! 

I don't subscribe to Debrett etc and haven't found confirmation of this marriage or her cousin Gabriella"s marriage either. 

Regards
Shinjinee
