Double-barrelled?

Has she double-barrelled her name to be Sheffield Cameron? I haven't seen this anywhere else. AFAIK she uses her maiden name professionally. DavidFarmbrough 11:39, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I created this page and, to be honest, I wasn’t sure if she had double-barrelled her name however, I had seen both Samantha Sheffield and Sheffield Cameron quoted as her name. If anyone thinks it should be changed feel free. Philip Stevens 16:22, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Normanby Hall

Did she grow up in Normanby Hall? Info on the Normanby Hall page suggests that the Sheffield family moved out in 1963, 8 years before she was born.

A cousin of David Cameron?

If she is the cousin of Sir Ferdinand Mount, and it says on her husband's page that David Cameron is a cousin of Sir Ferdinand Mount, then are Samantha and David Cameron cousins? Someone please explain! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.208.81.173 (talk) 17:27, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article states she is Mount's cousin. Mount's article states he is cousin once removed. D Cameron's article does not mention anything about him being the cousin of either. Cameron and his wife having a cousin in common may or may not mean they are cousins, so someone who knows the facts should clarify the matter on all three articles.

Inherited what?

"... MP for South Berkshire, which he inherited from his father, ..." What?!?! That could be read two ways, but surely neither is correct. He surely didn't inherit South Berkshire from his father. And he can't have inherited being the MP for South Berkshire, because being an MP isn't hereditary. Occultations (talk) 02:00, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Honourable?

As the daughter of a viscountess by marriage and step daughter of a viscount, is Mrs Cameron entitled to the style, The Honourable?--Oxonian2006 (talk) 19:02, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes

No. Fail. Unless Astor has adopted her, she is not entitled to be The Hon Mrs Cameron. I find no citations for any adoption, so will revert D B D 20:25, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Look, Spouse of the Leader of the Opposition is not acceptable. You are trying to hail SamCam as the next First Lady look. Did Cherie Blair have that no! Sandra Howard, Ffion Hague. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harriet Harperson (talk • contribs) 18:29, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where was she born?

The article - rather rediculously - states that she was born in North lincolnshire and London. Does anyone have a reliable source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.244.223.82 (talk) 11:20, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sir Ivan?

The Camerons' deceased first child is referred to in this article as "Sir Ivan..." surely this is not correct (despite the family baronetcy, etc)?
