Coldstreamer Posted 30 March , 2015 Author Share Posted 30 March , 2015 I don't subscribe to Debretts, but this may be of interest: Hugh Cholmondeley, born 18 October 1899. (I suspect it should be 1898). Son of Reginald Harry Cholmondeley & Florence Sophia. The Plantagenet roll of the blood royal; being a complete table of all the descendants now living of Edward III, King of England, Page 541 | Document Viewer Hugh Cholmondeley Baptism: 02 April 1899 Place: Hatfield, Herts Father: Reginald Harry Mother: Florence Sophia Newspaper Article - ARRESTED DIPLOMAT JP Lt.

helpjpl Posted 30 March , 2015 Share Posted 30 March , 2015 Lt. H. CHOLMONDELEY, M.C. (61761), having attained the age limit of liability to recall, relinquishes his commn., 18th Feb. 1949, retaining the rank of Lt. would be have been 50 to reach this age ? If so 1899 is correct According to the BMD his birth was registered Jan-Feb-Mar 1899 which ties in with the baptism on 2 April 1899, both Hatfield, Herts. Looks like the Plantagenet Roll got his DOB wrong. JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helpjpl Posted 30 March , 2015 Share Posted 30 March , 2015 He was a boarder at Evelyns School, Hillingdon, (1911 Census). Small select private schools and dame-schools have existed in the district since at least the beginning of the 19th century. In 1840 Mrs. Moore's boarding-school for 'young ladies' gave instruction in English, history, geography, writing, arithmetic, and needlework for 20 guineas a year, and a M. Godard advertised French and dancing lessons. There were said to be eight private schools in Hillingdon parish in 1870, together accommodating 124 children. Some of these schools provided organized preparatory education for boys entering the large public schools. Possibly the most important was Evelyns School at Colham Green, which was founded in 1872, and maintained close connexions with Eton until it was closed in 1931.

Rob Bulloch Posted 1 April , 2015 Share Posted 1 April , 2015 Hello Ian a wee bit off topic. The Cholmoneley family seem to go back a long way in regards to the military. There was one of them in command of the Royal Scots Fusiliers at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. As I said a wee bit off topic... Aye Rob..

Ruth Plowden Posted 31 October , 2019 Share Posted 31 October , 2019 I know this is a very old thread but if anyone is still interested in information about Hugh Cholmondeley, I can help. I am writing a book about him and my husband is his great nephew and was his heir. I would also be grateful for any information about the provenance of the picture of Les Deux Ponts - its a great photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
