Dear all,
I'm researching Mordaunt Francis Bannerman (22 December 1907 to 7 March 1973), head of car manufacturer Rootes Group in Hong Kong in the late 1960s. He was related by marriage to Sir John Walsham, envoy to China from 1885 to 1892.
Darryl Lundy has an excellent write up on his The Peerage site.

Thanks for any advice.
