General Notes
Lesley was from his first marriage.
Sir Norman David Fenton Echlin, 10th (and last) Baronet of Clonagh, Kildare. Sadly it was a riches to rags story, with the fortune (and it seemed to have been considerable) being mostly lost due to a 20 year lawsuit at the beginning of the 1800s.
He was born 1 Dec 1925, and succeeded to the baronetcy (cr Ireland 1721) on the demise of his father, 1932; edcuated a the Masonic Boys' School, Clonskeagh, co Dublin; Capt (ret) Indian Army; m 1953, Mary Christine, only daughter of John Arthur, of Oswestry, Shropshire. No children. Heir: none.
Norman did well in the Army. He was we believe the longest serving Baronet in the UK, as he was only about 6 when he inherited the title. His family were staying at a house in rural N Ireland when the 9th Bart died and Gillian's father, then 16, was dispatched with a neighbour on a motorbike, to a nearby town to send a telegram about the news, but the bike was hit by a van and her dad was badly injured. I think Norman and his mother went to a relative of hers on the I of Wight.
One of the Ryde Inshore Rescue lifeboats is named Sir Norman Eclin Bart, as he was so active in fundraising for it.
Norman and Mary were married on December 8th, 1953 in Oswestry.
