  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.

  5. ^ He was the younger son of Captain Henry Septimus Palairet by his wife Mary Ann Hamilton. For his death date, see Holland-Martin genealogy. For his further ancestry, see Franks-Hamilton table. His second cousin once removed was Constance Mary Becket, Lady Aberdare.
  6. ^ His mother is unlikely to be Nora Hamilton Martin. Charles Harvey Palairet's wife is given as Emily Henry in another source. Nora Hamilton Martin married Palairet only on 4 February 1888, so Michael Palairet is probably the son of the first wife.

  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.

  11. ^ Information about this man and his son Sir Joseph Sheridan comes from this site. 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.
