Notes and Questions

 * 1) Mr. Herbert Creighton appears not to exist at this time, at least not someone notable enough to appear in newspaper or magazine accounts, The Peerage or Ancestry. Possibly the Gentlewoman misspelled his name, or got it wrong in some way or altogether. One possible mistake would be the surname, so I have put him for now on this page, even though no Herbert Crichton or Chrichton shows up in the generations that would have attended the ball.
 * 2) Other Crichtons appeared at notable social events of this time.
