Ah! Perhaps the marriage did take place after all, but ended in divorce?

The Times, Wednesday, Jun 27, 1934; pg. 1; Issue 46791; col A
Marriages
"Shand-Kydd : Greathed - On June 22, 1934, at Marylebone Town Hall, Rowland Shand-Kydd, youngest son of W. Shand-Kydd and the late Mrs Shand-Kydd, of Highgate, to Mrs Patricia Greathed"

Marriage Registration
Rowland S KYDD
Patricia L. GREATHED
June quarter 1934
Marylebone 1a 1411
Lenore/Patricia is also listed as Patricia L. DORRINGTON in the Index, so both her names appeared in the marriage certificate.

The Times, Thursday, Jan 31, 1957; pg. 10; Issue 53753; col E
Will and Bequests
"Shand-Kydd, Mrs Patrick [sic] Leonore, of Harpsden, Henley-on-Thames, wife of Lieutenant Colonel Rowland Shand-Kydd, company director (gross £58,637)(duty paid, £18,131)"

Death Registration
KYDD, Patricia L.S. (age 50)
December quarter 1956
Henley vol 6b page 858

Other tidbits...

Rowland Shand Kydd was a director of Shand Kydd Ltd. So was his brother Norman.

Rowland appears to have remarried in 1960 to Ursula Georgina Hardman.

There was also the announcement of the engagement of Michael Anthony Hordern and Michele Burnett in March 1972. Curiously, the prospective groom was described as the younger son of Mr L A Hordern (Cane End House, Berkshire) and Mrs Rowland Shand Kydd.

I wonder if Mr L A Hordern was a former husband of Leonore/Patricia?

It get's even better.

If my very basic research is correct, Rowland's brother Norman had a son called Peter.

You might recognise the name.

Peter Shand Kydd was step father to Princess Diana  :o

OK - just another tidbit.

The death of Rowland Shand Kydd (born 3 July 1905) was registered in November 1992 in Westminster.

LA Hordern refers to Lebbeus Anthony Hordern. He was born 4 April 1914 in Sydney, New South Wales and died 26 May 1979 in Henley on Thames District. He married Ursula Georgina Gibbons in 1940 in Marlyebone, London. and they had 2 sons, Lebbeus Edward Anthony Hordern and Christopher M.G.A Hordern. Ursula had 2 further husbands: She married Albert Hardman in 1954 and then Rowland Shand-Kydd in 1960.

Not sure whether that helps or not!

Roger

Hi all,

Any connections to Harold Dorrington born Dec 1893 who married Ruby Groves and had a son called John Anthony Dorrington born 8 OCT 1931 Romford?

Thanks.

Hello,
I don't know if this is still relevant for you, but I recently met someone in Edinburgh in my caring profession that knew Eve Shand-kydd. I was prompting her through a reminiscence activity around her teenage years and discussed her time studying at RADA in the late 40s early 50s. I noticed in one of the posts that you didn't know what happened to Eve-born to Patricia Shand Kydd in 1931. The dates seem to fit with the approximate ages at RADA. It might fill in a small gap for you.
