HOW THE NAME 'SYDNEY' entered into the family (from TSW's son's autobiography):'While living at Gosport he (TSW's grandfather) was on very intimate terms with Admiral Sir Joseph Sydney YORKE, brother of the Earl of Hardwick, and he offered to be the godfather of my father. My grandfather being a dissenter, however, objected to godfathers but named my father after him.'
