Is Dominique's husband the William Henry Alexander Elborne, born 1966?
I can locate some of his ancestry, but I cannot spot the Osborn-Smiths
in the gentry.

No relation of Smyth-Osbourne formerly of Ash ?

Don't think they are. I posted the arrival because of Mrs Osborn-Smith
and her royal ancestry.

You're right, they're not! You mean the younger Mrs Osborn-Smith has royal
ancestry, I presume? Sorry if I'm being obtuse!
