His brother, Harry Holbeche Radclyffe-Dolling 1893-1986, late in life married Hazel Marion Staples 1923-2006.
She was the last of my Staples Clan to live at Lissan House,County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. It was the home of the Staples Baronets. As a woman, Hazel could not assume the title, and so it was extinguished.
Alma Belle Wolff (Clarke)Rattenbury was a talented musician (pianist, composer) and a decorated war hero (Croix de Guerre).
Her story is told in the play and film “Cause Celebre” with Helen Mirren.
Also an opera mounted in Victoria, BC>
