Ann Druitt's (Montague's mother) Medical Condition in 1890

[Roy Corduroy]

JR married a niece of Cardinal Manning.

... Cardinal Henry Manning was a leading figure in late Victorian England, and a friend of the insipient organized labor movement. His biography is one of the quartet by Lytton Strachey in "Eminent Victorians". He died on the same day as Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, in January 1892 - a victim of the influenza outbreak at that time.

Dr. Gasquet was at Cardinal Manning's bedside when he died.

"During the night the dying Cardinal was tended with loving care and watchfulness by Bishop Vaughan, Canon Johnson and Dr. Gasquet, husband of his beloved niece Mary, daughter of Charles Manning."
