• Notes

  --- "Wells Journal" 18 June 1891, page 2, column 2: Everyone amongst the very numerous friends of Mr. John Gordon Kennedy, British Minister in Chili, and of Mrs. Kennedy, will regret the burning of the British Legation House at Santiago. All their friends and the public in general will equally rejoice at their narrow escape from the fire with their lives. It was an incident of civil war. Mrs. Kennedy is sister to the Duchess of Seroneta, who some years ago, before the death of her father-in-law, was one of the foremost leaders of society in Rome, her then title being Princess Teano. Her husband, now the Duke of Sermoneta, is President of the Royal Geographical Society of Italy. Mr. Kennedy, who had fortunately left his children in England before his departure for Chili, will, of course, receive compensation from the Treasury for the actual pecuniary loss that he has sustained.
