Nerissa and Katherine Bowes-Lyon were two of the daughters of John Herbert Bowes-Lyon and his wife Fenella (née Hepburn-Stuart-Forbes-Trefusis)
Miss Fane 38394612 is buried in the same grave as her sister Etheldreda 38394612, who died in 1996. Nerissa Bowes Lyon, Katherine's 140895787 sister and a cousin of the Queen Mother, lies in a grave just two plots away.
Miss Fane was one of five children, including Nerissa, Katherine and Etheldreda, who were locked away in a mental institution on one day in 1941 as Nazi bombs fell on London and the then Queen was in the East End. Katherine was listed as dead in Burke's Peerage in 1961. The sisters were sent to the Royal Earlswood Hospital at Redhill, a grim Victorian mansion.
When Nerissa died in the mid-1980s, she was buried at Redstone, her grave marked with a plastic tag bearing a number and her name. Burke's Peerage said she had died in 1940.
Idonea's mother was the sister of Fenella Trefusis, who was married to John Herbert Bowes Lyon, the Queen Mother's brother and the second son of the Earl of Strathmore. Educated at Eton and New College, Oxford, he served in the First World War but was invalided out of the Black Watch in 1916. He died in 1930, aged 44; Fenella Trefusis died in 1966.
