MUCH muttering about the usefulness and reliability of Who's Who as a reference source, given the failure yet again by Baroness Thatcher to mention her mother. The missing mother has been endlessly amateur-analysed; what seems to have gone unnoticed is Sir Denis's failure in his entry to mention his first wife - the first Margaret - Margaret Kempson, later Lady Hickman. Sir Denis's first marriage lasted from 1942 to 1946. The marriage has been described as a wartime mistake and the divorce as amicable. He met the second Margaret in 1949 and married her in 1951. Just thought I'd mention it.
