Confusing[edit]

He was expected to take up the leadership of the Liberal group in the House of Lords, but a much more serious stroke in 1959 left him largely bedridden and in a state of precarious health until his death, in 1970. So, when he was elevated to the Lords in 1952, he was expected to take up the Liberal leadership, but a stroke he had seven years later prevented this? That, er, doesn't make sense? john k (talk) 15:45, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pamela Karen Bower[edit]

There is a reference supporting the identification of her father Dallas Bower, given in Debrett 2000, as the film director Dallas Bower: Burke's Peerage 1956 at p.2157 states that she was "elder dau. of Dallas Bower of 69 Brook Street, W1." That London address is for the Savile Club, indeed associated with that Dallas Bower. His Guardian obituary states that he was "celebrated as the most faithful, virtually resident, member of the Savile Club".[1]

I was puzzled as to whether Pamela Karen Bower was the screenwriter Pamela Bower. According to IMDb that is Pamela Wilcox Bower, daughter of Herbert Wilcox and Maud Bower: so a different person. Herbert Wilcox and Dallas Bower were associates, however. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:38, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
