Death date for daughter

We say his daughter, Grace Stanley, lived 1907–48. There's a probate record:

Name: Honourable Grace Lowrey Buckmaster; Death Date: 26 Mar 1977; Death Place: London; Probate Date: 21 Sep 1977; Probate Registry: London

Several newspaper obituaries of her second husband, Herbert John Buckmaster (1881–1966), mention that they were married in 1940 but I can't find one that confirms she was still alive in 1966. Cavrdg (talk) 18:21, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

I took the year of death as reported in her husband's obituary, but clearly the probate record is correct and she lived until 1977. I did another search in the Times archive and there is a very apologetic correction published the following day (18 October 1966):

"In the obituary notice of Captain H. J. Buckmaster in yesterday's issue of The Times it was stated the the Hon. Mrs. Buckmaster had died in 1948. This was incorrect; she survives her husband. We much regret any embarrassment or pain our error may have caused her. When she married Captain Buckmaster as his third wife in 1940, she was the Hon Mrs. E. J. Barford."

Pretty shoddy work to get her formal name wrong and kill her off at the same time. It looks like the obituary was intended to say something like:

"...the Hon. Grace Lowrey Stanley (formerly Mrs. E. J. Barford), daughter of the first Baron Ashfield (who died in 1948)."

In the official Registry of Deaths for Jan to Mar 1977, her name is also spelled incorrect as Grace Lourney Buckmaster.

There was quite an age difference between Mr & Mrs Buckmaster. He was 27 years older. DavidCane (talk) 21:06, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
