Family tradition has it that there is certainly an Earl of Oxford connection. His maternal grandfather was Horatio Francis de Vere, son of Sir Aubrey de Vere, 2nd Baronet, of Currah or Curragh Chase, Askeaton, Co. Limerick. Sir Aubrey de Vere was born Sir Aubrey Hunt, son of Sir Vere Hunt, but changed the family name. The Hunts were descended from the de Veres through a female line. [I enclose my own notes from now on: assumed by letters-patent of 15th March 1832 or 1833 the surname and arms of de Vere only. He was descended from the eldest daughter of the last Earl of Oxford, who had no sons. He came to an arrangement with the Duke of Buccleuch, and another, who were descended from the two young daughters respectively.]
I am sure you know that William Horace de Vere Cole (my great-uncle) was the great practical joker.
I do have some more de Vere genealogy.
