Although the citation used may have said this, Colonel George Harley was not killed in the Second Boer War. He survived to retire and died of heart trouble aged 62 in 1907. He has a gravestone in Condover Churchyard and he and his wife both have a memorial plaque inside Condover Church. Because of Covid related restrictions I cannot access the newspaper source for his obituary at Shropshire Archives. Colonel Harley also has a biographical sketch in a book, Shropshire - Biographical by C.H. Mate, published 1907 when he was then alive, the nearest copy again being at Shropshire Archives.Cloptonson (talk) 20:55, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have added a corrected mention of Colonel Harley's death cited to a more recent book, Shropshire War Memorials, Sites of Remembrance, by Peter Francis (published 2013). I have deleted the Spartacus Educational citation against his death as it does erroneously state he was killed in the Boer War and also that Katherine's father (implicitly at least) died when she was ten years old whereas he actually died the year before she was born (see also wiki biography of her brother Sir John French).Cloptonson (talk) 21:27, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
For those with access to the source (my nearest is at Shropshire Archives), there is published information to be had on the family Katherine Harley and her husband had together, in Burke's Landed Gentry, under the article 'Harley of Brampton Bryan' (of which her husband's family were a branch), they had several children. Her paternal family history would be in Burke's Peerage during the lifetime of her brother's Earldom of Ypres peerage but I do not recall if it details his siblings of whom Katherine was one.Cloptonson (talk) 08:01, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have found the Burke's Landed Gentry article, but the Burke's Peerage article on the Earl of Ypres only details her only brother, the daughters are not named nor their subsequent lives charted.Cloptonson (talk) 16:40, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
