A connection of the TM’s to British Peerage

The TM’s connect to the British Royal Aristocracy through the Fortescue=Wilbraham line.
The 1st Earl Fortescue’s (1753-1841) daughter, Lady Anne Fortescue (1787-1864), married George Wilbraham (1779-1852).  Their great granddaughter, Barbara Francesca Wilbraham (1897-1979), married a Canadian, Henry (Harry) Ernest Plant (1892-1981).  Barbara is the 2nd great-granddaughter of the 1st Earl Fortescue, and her husband Harry is the 2nd great grandson of Thomas Loveless (1762-1838), father of the Martyrs George and James.
