Sir Aurelian Ridsdale not her father-in-law
I am fairly confident that the claim that "She was the... daughter-in-law of Sir Aurelian Ridsdale" is not correct. The article for her husband Julian Ridsdale, states that his uncles were Sir Auerlian Ridsdale and Stanley Baldwin, the latter the husband of Sir Auerlian's sister Lucy, and that he was the "The son of a stockbroker". Sir Aurelian Ridsdale's article also described Julian as his nephew and gives no indication that he was a stockbroker. Thus, I think Julian was actually the son of a brother of Sir Auerlian and Lucy Ridsale. So Sir Auerleian was therefore merely Dame Paddy Ridsdale's Uncle-in-law (though as he died in 1923 they would not have known each other so I am doubtful that he needs to be mentioned, especially when Julian's more famous Uncle - the 3 time Prime Minister - is not mentioned in the article).

 * I have now removed the reference to Sir Aurelian after checking Dod's parliamentary companion for 1966. It clearly states that Julian Ridsdale's father was also called Julian Ridsdale, so sir Aurelian was therefore definitely not her father-in-law. Dunarc (talk) 20:57, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
