Notes for Milly Isabella Louisa Soltau-Symons
Her birth on FreeBMD is under the sole name of Symons.

And on the online GRO index with her mother’s maiden name:

Name:                             Mother's Maiden Surname:
SYMONS, MILLY ISABELLA LOUISA     GRAVES
GRO Reference: 1862  M Quarter in PLYMPTON ST MARY UNION  Volume 05B  Page 234

Notes for John & Milly Isabella Louisa (Family)
The Northampton mercury on page 8 on Friday 10th August 1894 carried a long article on the wedding and the events in Northants leading up to it, including a tea for 2000!

Her name was spelled Soltan-Symons. Complete Peerage definitely has ‘Soltau’, as does Burke’s Peerage and as does Burke’s landed Gents of 1914.
