My great Aunt Alice (née Morant) who became Mrs Wilfred Ward-Hunt was certainly one! There was also a brother who was a parish priest (Batcombe and Upton Noble) and who I believe went to India at some point (this may have been Edgar). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Digby Morant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
