Hello! This is my first post so here goes! Does anyone have any info on the 10th Duke of Roxburghe or his son Charles?

[FitzJohn]

The 10th Duke of Roxburghe, Marquess of Bowmont and Cessford, Earl of Roxburghe, Earl of Kelso, Earl Innes, Viscount Broxmouth, Lord Ker of Cessford and Caverton and baronet are all titles help by Sir Guy David Innes-Ker. The Duke was born in 1954 and succeeded his father in 1974. His first wife was Lady Jane Meriel Grosvenor, dau. of real estate magnate the 5th Duke of Westminster. After their divorce he married Viginia Mary Williams-Wynn. He has three sons and two daughters, and the principal family seat is Floors Castle, Kelso, Roxburghshire. All peerages except the Innes earldom (UK 1837) are in the Kingdom of Scotland, and the family motto, translated, is "For Christ and country danger is sweet."

His eldest son, about whom you also asked, is Charles Robert George Innes-Ker, and goes by the courtesy titles Marquess of Bowmont and Cessford. He was born in 1981 to the Duchess Jane.

Hi Are you tracing the Innes-Kerr family? The above is a 14th cousinon my paternal side.

[Lindsay St. Marks]

Hi! No, I'm not tracing the Innes-Kerr family, per se. I blog about eligible peers, and I also comment when one marries, divorces, etc. - a lovely family to be affiliated with, jono. You should be proud.
