Talk:Edward Somerset, 2nd Marquess of Worcester

Alexander Armstrong's Who Do You Think You Are
From Alexander Armstrong: "In August 2010 Armstrong was featured in an episode of the BBC One genealogy documentary series Who Do You Think You Are?, through which he discovered that he was a descendant of .. Edward Somerset, 2nd Marquess of Worcester .. " The "Water Commanding Engine" was apparently constructed from the barrel of a cannon (see the iplayer link from time 44.15). More intriguing still were the revelations about the activities of Bennet Woodcroft from The Science Museum and his 1861 expedition to the vault of Raglan church, to try and find a model of the invention in Somerset's tomb.

 * I've arrived here from the WDYTYA? documentary as well. Definitely think the "expedition" and subsequent desecration of the body are worth a mention. Arthur Holland (talk) 10:00, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Daughter(s) with Margaret
The Family section said of the Margaret O'Brien marriage "They had two daughters:" but only one is listed both here and in DNB. I don't know if a previous editor had access to another biography, but for now it's one daughter. David Brooks (talk) 21:21, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
