Michael & Carole Ryan
Michael Ryan is the son of Bettine (Ogilvie) Ryan and grandson of Elizabeth (Isham) Ogilvie. Elizabeth was a sister of Sir Norman’s father Vere Isham–thus an aunt of Sir Ian and Sir Norman–as well as Dorothy (Isham) Schofield–grandmother of Letitia (Waugh) Bason-Leone. Elizabeth, Dorothy, and Vere were the children of Arthur Charles and Evelyn Rose (Selby-Lowndes) Isham, making Michael as well as their other descendants cousins of fellow Lowndes descendants Gerald and Oliver Kingsbury and Lady Lucy French.
