Photographs[edit]

Whilst writing this article I found the following website www.beattyfehling.com which appears to be about a different Laura Beatty; but curiously the same picture appears on www.fantasticfiction.co.uk so perhaps it is the same Laura, or fantasticfiction has got it wrong !

Keen family and relatives[edit]

The article on Alice Oswald's poetry collection [1] identifies her brother as 'actor Will Keen' ('Her father is a retired banker, her mother the garden designer Mary Keen, her brother the actor Will Keen.'). The article on Mary Keen [2] (she simply doesn't use her first name of 'Priscilla', which makes sense as it was also her mother's name; as also clearly shown here https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person/mp130975/lady-priscilla-mary-rose-keen-nee-curzon) mentions both Alice Oswald and Laura Beatty as her children: 'Keen lives in Gloucestershire with her husband, Charles, with whom she has four children... My third daughter, Alice [Oswald, the poet]... my daughter Laura [Beatty], who is a writer...' Therefore the three are siblings, and Dafne Keen, Will's daughter, is the niece of Alice Oswald and Laura Beatty.

This all matches up with the Debrett's 2011 pedigree of the Earls Howe, which under descendants of the 6th Earl, gives the full names of all these siblings and their marriages. This firmly- beyond any shadow of a doubt- establishes the identities of all these individuals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.144.70.169 (talk) 14:10, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
