Geoffrey Taylour, 4th Marquess of Headfort

Geoffrey Thomas Taylour (1878–1943), was the fourth holder of the title Marquess of Headfort, an Irish peerage.

He was an English Freemason, having been initiated in the Lodge of Assistance No 2773 (London, England) at Golden Square, London, in February 1901, aged 22 years. [See 'History of the Lodge of Assistance 1899-2002', page 24.]

Rose Boote (1878-1958), a young singer who appeared in "The Messenger Boy" in 1900 under her professional name of "Miss Rosie Boote", so charmed the young Marquess that he married her on 11 April 1901. [ [http://www.happenstances.com/names.html Biographical details here.] ]
