Notes and Questions

1. The article in the Gentlewoman says "Florence Dyke," but the person before her in their list is Lady Duncombe, who was Florence, so perhaps the Lady Dyke is just a transference from that. Other sources agree that it is Lady Emily Dyke.
2. William Hart Dyke was influential in the development of tennis.
