George Chichester, 5th Marquess of Donegall
Source: Donegall, Marquess of (I, 1791) at cracroftspeerage.co.uk; Probate Index for 1904 online at probatesearch.service.gov.uk Source: "The Hon. George Augustus Hamilton Chichester" in The Spectator dated 11 July 1863, p. 2 Source: Country Life, Volume 178 (1985), p. 1275
 * ... that the 5th Marquess of Donegall (arms pictured) married at the age of eighty, gained a son and heir nine months later, and died within a year leaving an estate valued at £27?
 * ALT1 ... that on his third appearance in the Divorce Court, The Spectator noted "the vulgar belief that the class to which Mr. Chichester belongs is exceptionally immoral"?
 * ALT2 ... that in 1902 the elderly 5th Marquess of Donegall advertised for a lady who would pay him twenty-five thousand pounds sterling in cash to become a peeress?

 * Symbol voting keep.svg Date and length fine. AGF on offline source for ALT2 and online one fine for ALT1. Sadly the source for the original doesn't link to the page it claims so I cannot pass that at this time unless it is changed. My personal preference (unless the original can be fixed) is for ALT2. Arms licence fine, QPQ done, no close paraphrasing. Good to go.  The C of E  God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 10:15, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review, . I couldn't find a way to link to a page of the Probate Index, but on the search page that comes up if you click on the tab for 1858—1996, enter Donegall and 1904, then hit search, the page comes up and the entry is near the bottom of the page. I'll add this to the footnote. Moonraker (talk) 22:27, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The ALT0 facts about his marriage age and age at which his son was born are verified in footnote 5, while the fact about his estate is verified by footnote 14, so I'm promoting that hook. Yoninah (talk) 00:02, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
