In the box - can't get the first bit.  There were five Cadogan sisters.  Tortor may be Portia the eldest.  Mary married the Marquis of ?Blandford

At the bottom - Sister to Edwina married ? Alec Cunningham ?  Lord Delamere (Tom) had estates in Kenya where they spent six months of each year.  English home at 6 mile Bottom.

Hope that helps a bit, i am sure someone else can do better.

The Hon Mrs John Gilmour  ------ in ------, to  (SEE OVER) (this bit written 'sideways'!)
-------- ------ --------- of ------- be called TORTER

There were 5 Cadogan sisters, Torter
may be PORTIA the eldest. Mary married the
Marquis of Blandford. Portia m RT HON LORD STANLEY &
Edith m Sir or Lord Hillingden. Cynthia m  Sir
Humphrey de Trafford, the youngest was called TO TO.

Very interesting... apparently  the four girls :  Portia (ie: Sybil, b 1893),  Edith (b 1895), Cynthia (b 1896) and Mary (Alexander Mary, b 1900) &  were known as the CADOGAN square! Apparently Portia at one point had set her cap at the Prince of Wales.  Mary's husband was a Spencer-Churchill.

The 5th and youngest daughter was Victoria Louise ( b 1901) and according to the book (link1), was known as "Tor-Tor" - this  pet-name sounds like the 'Torter" written in the notation...but I think her pet-name is that written right at the end of the boxed off text (ie: TO TO).  The word or words before TO TO don't look like her name(s),  and in fact I think  the words are "was called".  She married Sir John GILMOUR in 1922 and they divorced in 1929.

Erskine:     EARL OF BUCHEN, EARL OF KELLOG
Edwina Ashley later Lady Mountbatten
Mary Ashley Cooper All Broadlands * Dec 21 1914  Ashley Cooper Earl of Shaftesbury
Mary Ashley sister to Edwina, married 1. Alec Cunningham Reid   2/ Lord Delamere (Tom)
                                                                                             Had estates in Kenya where they
                                                                                             spent 6 months of each year.
                                                                                             English home st 6 mile Bott---.


Mary Ashley, sister to Edwina, is actually Ruth Mary Clarisse ASHLEY who actually married  (and divorced) 3 times (the above notes appear to miss out Laurie Gardner, who was really husband nr 2, not Lord Delamere)
Alec CUNNINGHAM REID
Ernest Laurie GARDNER
Tom CHOLMONDELEY, Lord Delamere
