edit- Alan Legge Gardner, 3rd Baron Gardner of Uttoxeter's title died with him because his sons were born he married Julia Fortescue.[2]
- This Mr. Alan Gardner more likely than others because his brother was also part of this social network.
- Why did Truth cover the Burghcleres when essentially no other newspaper did? (Although the Morning Post does at least mention him.)
