  2. ^ This means that he is the heir apparent of the heir apparent to the earldom, and no person subsequently born can deprive him from succeeding to the earldom if he outlives his grandfather and father.

  4. ^ He was the younger son of Captain Henry Septimus Palairet by his wife Mary Ann Hamilton. For his further ancestry, see Franks-Hamilton table. His second cousin once removed was Constance Mary Becket, Lady Aberdare.
  5. ^ Charles Harvey Palairet's wife is given as Emily Henry in another source

  7. ^ the sixth son and eighth child of eight sons and two daughters born to John Hungerford Pollen (a Roman Catholic convert, possibly of the Pollen Baronets) and his wife Maria Margaret. On 7 September 1898 he married Maud Beatrice, the only daughter of the leading Conservative politician Joseph Lawrence, (later Sir Joseph Lawrence, Bart.) who was also chairman of Linotype and Machinery Ltd. With Maud he had one daughter, who died aged four, and two sons.
  8. ^ "SIR JOSEPH LAWRENCE DIES.; Head of International Linotype Co. Was Once Sheriff of London." The New York Times, October 26, 1919, p. 22. He was born 23 September 1848 and died 24 October 1919. In 1900, he was Sheriff of the City of London, and from 1904 to 1906, he was Member of Parliament for Plymouth Boroughs.
  9. ^ The 3rd Baron Revelstoke's sister was Hon. Margaret Baring, wife of the 6th Earl Spencer. This makes his daughter Hon. Daphne Pollen (1904-1986) a first cousin of the 7th Earl; his grandson Francis Pollen (1926-1987) a second cousin of the 8th Earl; and his great-granddaughter Mary Clare, Viscountess Asquith a third cousin of Diana, Princess of Wales. Mark Julian Asquith is thus a fourth cousin of Princes William and Harry.

A possible relative was the soprano Margaret Burke Sheridan (1889-1958), described as the youngest of five children of a postmaster and a housewife who both died in 1983 when she was four.
