Notes |
- The Skrine family had an unbroken genealogy for hundreds of years. Some claim that they came to England as courtiers of Philip of Spain on his marriage to Queen Mary; others attribute the origins to the Skerne family of County Durham.] In the High Victorian period they were one of the wealthiest families in England, their money derived from tea planting estates in Ceylon (now called Sri Lanka) and Malaysia, extending into legal matters and as merchants.
