Happy to see that you didn’t get lost who with hwom through the centuries, I certainly did.
Anyway, is there anywhere to read what the money of the offspring of the robber barons (the the Amercians call the Vanderbuilds at all) did in British society?
It’s always struck me as statistically improbable that the Duchess of Manchester between 1890 and 1892 (thereafter Dowager Duchess) was also called Consuelo.
McKenzie you are too kind! Thank you for the mention - and for this wonderful article.

Consulado Vanderbilt was named after her. Alva Vanderbilt was a friend of Consuelo Yznaga (Duchess of Manchester)
Truly one learns something every day!
Thanks for reading!
