Christopher is Austin's great nephew.

I noted the reference to Sir Austin Hudson MP -Lewisham North until his death & a reference to his widow ( with intriguing links to Archibald Hall ) but also to the poet/ writer Mercedes de Acosta.<br /><br />Do you know if the link to Lady Hudson and Mercedes de Acosta is referenced in any other source, as I cannot so far find this connection in what I have so far read on Mercedes de Acosta 'eventful life' or in her biography by Robert Schanke. Or was it part of the family lore?<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Mike Guilfoyle<br />Vice-Chair : Friends of Brockley & Ladywell cemeteries http://www.foblc.org.uk/https://www.blogger.com/profile/06834850875109925043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350007551044387893.post-21796510885440762912019-01-03T13:16:10.120+00:002019-01-03T13:16:10.120+00:00I WAS aware of her employment of Archibald Hall......I WAS aware of her employment of Archibald Hall... Very good friends of ours were 1st cousins of the Scott-Elliots who were later murdered by him. They told me about a Lady Hudson who had earlier had him as butler. we then made the connection. Small (and weird) world!<br />Looking at Mercedes' page, it seems to me like it would be really unlikely that there were TWO lesbians called Mercedes that moved in that sort of circle in an era where there was almost 'no such thing as gay women'... <br />From Christopher HudsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350007551044387893.post-76388580712410777372019-01-02T12:46:57.571+00:002019-01-02T12:46:57.571+00:00Magnificent work you have done on the old photo al...Magnificent work you have done on the old photo albums, they are a real treasure trove for everyone to enjoy.<br />xx TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
