Notes for Constance Lucy
At her marriage she was living in the parish of St Martin-in-the-Fields.

Her Lucy of Charlcote ancestry first appears in Burke’s Peerage in 1894 and still appeared in the 1939 edition, p. 1670.  It also appears in the 2nd Edition of the Dictionary of National Biography, pub 2004/5.
_____________________________________________________

The Hammersmith parish register has this entry for their other two daus:

Ann Meadowes, d. of Sr Philip & Lady, bur. March 31, 1687, 3s 8d.
Lucy Meadows, bur. Nov 17, 1693.

(Coll Top et Gen, iii, 318)

DNB says they had three daus; this indicates that two of them did not marry.
