Dr. Who?

The marriage of Richard West's daughter, Anne, into the Ward family set into flow a direct connection into the aristocracy for at least one branch of the West family.

Today's Viscount Bangor, is the eighth holder of the title. His father, Edward, had a distinguished career as war journalist and foreign correspondent. Edward married four times. 

From his final marriage, a daughter, Lalla Ward was born in 1951. Lalla found fame in Dr Who, playing aside Tom Baker, to whom she was also briefly married. 

From 1992 to 2016 she was married to Richard Dawkins, author of the 'God Delusion' and 'The Selfish Gene' amongst other influential publications.   

So what can you say? Lalla Ward provides the link between the Daleks, the atheism of Richard Dawkins, and the West family of Downpatrick. As the Time Lady 'Romana', she connects Hetty Jane Owen and her descendants with the planet of the Time Lords, Gallifrey. You couldn't ask for much more than that.
