Footnotes

Marcia Amelia Mary Pelham was the eldest daughter of the 12th Baron Conyers and his wife, Mary. On 5 August 1886, she married Charles Pelham, 4th Earl of Yarborough and they had four sons. Her father died in 1888 and his title fell into abeyance, but the abeyance was terminated in her favour four years later. In 1903, the barony of Fauconberg was also granted to Marcia. As a result of the titles granted to her, Marcia brought 153 armorial quarterings to her husband's family. The countess was appointed an OBE in 1920 for her role as Commandant of Brocklesby Park (her husband's ancestral home), which had been turned over as an auxiliary hospital during World War I. Her eldest son, Sackville Pelham, inherited her titles upon her death in 1926.
