London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Blakiston Baronets of London

Sykes,

Did you ever get anywhere with this? I have an interest in Harriet Elanor, wife of the 6th Baronet, who was himself a major during WWI and later a Unionist MP for Belfast dock between 1929 and 1933. They lived in Belfast during WWI and Harriet was a devout Catholic, and devoted parishioner of St Malachy's, where my ancestors worshipped at the time. She apparently raised money for a war memorial to be erected in the church, which is thought to be the only one in a Catholic Church in Ulster, but even more remarkable it was erected in August 1917, which must be unique.

They appear to have moved back to the mainland at some time in the 30s, and are buried in a small village in Beds.

A very intriguing couple, have you got any more detail on them?

Thanks,

John
