There's Grattan-Bellews in the 1911 census. Are these people marrying their cousins? www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/results.jsp?census_... Or does the title only reflect one party to this matrimonial alliance?

From this article in the Kilkenny People, I think this is Bettina Idrone Dorothy Loftus marrying Thomas Henry (Hal) Grattan-Bellew, a great great grandson of Henry Grattan, the great irish patriot.

Niall McAuley Beat me to it!

London Times, June 14th 1933

Bettina Idrone Dorothy Loftus was the daughter of Major John Edward Blake Loftus.2 She married Thomas Henry Grattan-Bellew, son of Sir Henry Christopher Grattan-Bellew, 3rd Bt. and Lady Sophia Maria Elizabeth Forbes, on 1 June 1933.1 She died on 10 March 1995.1 From 1 June 1933, her married name became Grattan-Bellew.

Brilliant title...kudos!

Okay - on 27th July 1908 we have the wedding of Reginald Courtney Myers to Marguerite Downey at St John's, Waterford civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marri...

Yes congrats on title:)

Myers was a Bachelor Accountant of Balham in London. His father was Modestus(!!!) Courtney Myers, Gentleman. Downey was a Spinster of Newtown, Waterford, daughter of Edmund Downey, Pressman. The priest was William O'Donnell PP. Witnesses: William E Downey, Elizabeth Downey & Kathleen M Hand. Do those girls look too young to be the official witnesses, and why are three witnesses listed rather than the usual two?

A quick Google search of "Courtney Myers" suggests that those of you with access to Geneology & Newspaper websites will be able to track this family to London.

the curtains and fur rug the twins are sitting on is the same as in the 'self portrait on rocking horse' photograph. The lady seated behind the twins in the darker dress actually looks very much like Harriet?
