Mrs. Radcliffe formerly Katherine Doughty - engaged on and off to her cousin Roger Tichborne. Married in 1854.

Lady Doughty

Doughty left estate to Edward Tichborne who changed his name to Edward Doughty. His brother and nephew added the name Doughty upon inheriting. Katherine Arundell and Theresa Arundell are aunt and niece; the latter d. of the 11th Lord Arundell of Wardour, Henry Benedict Arundell was married to Frances Catherine Tichborne daughter of Henry Joseph Tichborne (but she is not the mother of Theresa, she is the mother of the 12th and 13th barons).

(this is a quote do not modify) It will be remembered that Sir Henry Tichborne, who died in 1821, left four sons and a daughter. Of the sons, the three elder, Henry Joseph, Edward, and James, all in turn succeeded to the title, and all. had children; Robert, the youngest, died without issue; and the daughter married a gentleman named Nangle, and became the mother of two sons and a daughter. Sir Henry Joseph had no son, but six daughters, of whom the three elder became respectively Lady Dormer, Lady Arundel of Wardour, and Mrs. Washington Hibbert. The three younger were Catherine, the wife of Colonel William Greenwood; Lucy, the wife of Mr. Towneley; and Emily, the wife of Matthew James Higgins, the well-known `Jacob Omnium' of the Times and the Pall Mall Gazette. Next to Lady Doughty and her daughter, Mrs. Greenwood was perhaps the one of his female relatives with whom Roger was on the most affectionate terms; her husband and his brother, Colonel George Greenwood, famous as an authority on horseman- ship, had been among the kindest friends of his boyhood, and it was to her he addressed his last letter before leaving England. Lady Doughty was still alive, so was her daughter; and the latter's husband, Mr. Radcliffe, had been acquainted with Roger through acting with him in private theatricals at Sir Clifford Constable's, while Miss Nangle had been Mrs. Radcliffe's friend and confidante in their girlish days, and a constant visitor both at Upton and Tichborne when Roger was there, The only two of old Mr. Seymour's daughters then surviving were Mrs. Bouverie and Lady Rawlinson, both of whom had known Roger well in his Stonyhurst time and subsequently; and

[189]

his two sons, Henry Danby Seymour and Alfred Seymour, were both alive, and both members of the House of Commons. Though by blood they were Roger's half-uncles, the relationship was by tacit consent never alluded to, but they associated together on the footing of cousins, addressing each other by their Christian names, and enjoy- ing an intimacy which, until Roger's departure to America, had never been interrupted by a quarrel or a harsh word http://tarlton.law.utexas.edu/lpop/etext/atlay/tichborne3.htm

I would probably suggest highlighting the ones with actual Wiki significance and changing the font. Also not sure how this looks in browsers other than firefox.--Erp (talk) 19:54, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Take 2. I've omitted some of the names and added a dotted line connecting the two boxes for John Collier. Also used the font 'sans'. Also used a red outline around one significant person.



Doesn't seem to be much difference in the font; however, removing names allows it to take up a bit less space horizontally (or allow the tree to be bigger). Same tree but a bit bigger.



Template:Chart
The following seems to be a common method on wikipedia; however, it isn't very accessible. I did not make it chronological since that makes it easier to show John Collier's marriages to the two Huxley daughters. It is also still too wide.
