[Michael Rhodes]

The Lady Elizabeth Ann Bathurst, who died 9 October, 2004, aged 96, was
a sister of the 6th and 7th Earls Temple of Stowe.

She was born Elizabeth Ann Temple-Gore-Langton, 3 April, 1908, the only
daughter of Capt. the Hon. Chandos Graham Temple-Gore-Langton, of the
1st Dragoon Guards (1873-1921), by his wife Frances Ethel Gore.

In February, 1940, her eldest brother, Chandos (1909-66), succeeded his
uncle as 6th Earl Temple of Stowe, and on his death, without issue in
1966, the peerages devolved upon her next brother, Stephen (1910-88),
who was unmarried.

She was, in 1941, granted the rank and precedence of the daughter of an
earl.

Lady Elizabeth married in 1927, Group Capt. Peter Bathurst, RAF
(1903-70), scion of the Earls Bathurst, by whom she had two sons:-

(i) Admiral Sir (David) Benjamin Bathurst, GCB, b. 1936

(ii) Timothy Seymour Bathurst, b. 1939

Admiral of the Fleet,since 1995
(ordinary promotion to that rank having
been discontinued in 1996,I have wondered
if he stepped down as First Sea Lord early
in order to get the extra stripe while it
was still possible).

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
