Research Notes
The information in Wikipedia relating to the marriage and children of Mary Manners nee Digg and Lord Robert Manners is unsourced. The Peerage (a web page consisting mainly of information for third parties) does cite Burkes Peerage 2003 volume 3, page 3448 as the source for the marriage date being 1st January 1756, but does not give a marriage place. The original marriage register for Roehampton covering 1756 does not appear to be online. The newspaper dated 13th January 1756 does appear to have just copied the text for the previous week's edition dated 2nd January 1756.
