[edit] The title "Lady"
Is Lady Barbara Thomas Judge the wife of The Rt Hon Sir Igor Judge, Lord Justice Judge, President of the Queen's Bench Division? If she is, she is presumably not "Lady Barbara" but "Lady Judge". On the other hand perhaps she is the daughter of a duke, a marquess, or an earl. I have seen her referred to as "The Hon Barbara Thomas Judge", which might suggest that her father was a courtesy viscount or baron who has now succeeded to a dukedom, marquessate, or earldom. However, I do not know of any peers of those ranks with the surname Thomas (which I take to be her maiden name). I am guessing that the style, "The Hon" pertains to her former post in the US.--195.92.67.75 19:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I believe she is actually the wife of Sir Paul Judge. Still she is Lady Judge or The Hon Barbara Thomas. Probably best rendered as The Hon. Barbara Thomas (Lady Judge)--Westminsterboy 15:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
How did she get the style "The Hon."? A wife of a knight is only known as Lady... without "The Hon."
