General Notes:
"In 1779, Mr. George Carpenter of Redbourn in Hertfordshire (writes Sir Anthony Wagner, ex-Garter King of Arms, in his English Geneology) had the plumber down from London to repair the roof of his house. With the plumber came his daughter, and both remained at Redbourn for some time. Mary Elizabeth Walsh, the daughter, was then eighteen years of age and Mr. Carpenter upwards of 60, yet notwithstanding the disparity of their ages and positions, he married her. Their daughter (Mary Elizabeth Louisa Carpenter) married the 11th Earl of Strathmore (Thomas Lyon-Bowes), the Queen Mother's (Elizabeth II) great great-grandfather. The Prince of Wales is thus eighth in descent from that plumber, John Walsh" This is from the book, "Charles: A Biography by Anthony Holden, 1989, Toronto, McClelland and Stewart.
