Who were the relatives who were Speakers of the Commons?
It is mentioned he hoped to be the 'fourth' member of his family to be Speaker of the House of Commons, but the article does not make clear who the three relatives that became speaker were. As one who read a book on Speakers written by one former Speaker (Lord Selwyn-Lloyd), the surnames of Channon and Guinness do not come to mind among past Speakers of the House I have heard of.Cloptonson (talk) 14:55, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Channon's father's mother-in-law was Gwendolen Guinness, Countess of Iveagh (née Onslow), daughter of William Onslow, 4th Earl of Onslow. That is the key. Previous speakers had been Richard Onslow (Solicitor General) (speaker 1566 to 1567), Richard Onslow, 1st Baron Onslow (speaker 1708 to 1710) and Arthur Onslow (speaker 1728 to 1761). Paul's weakness was that his line to these ancestors went via two women and, although one was an MP, that wasn't good enough. But never mind, there's no great hurry with such things.
