Ronald Collet Norman

Ronald Collet Norman JP (15 November 1873 – 5 December 1963) was a banker, administrator and politician.

In March 1900, he was appointed an assistant private secretary (unpaid) to the (Conservative) Under-Secretary of State for War, George Wyndham.

He served as the vice-chairman of the National Trust during the 1930s, but he declined the chairmanship, because he was not "a great landowner".

[3] Norman married Lady Florence Sibell Bridgeman (1877–1959), a daughter of the 4th Earl of Bradford.

They had three sons and one daughter: Through the Bridgemans, the Normans descended from Ronald Collet Norman and Lady Florence are thus related to several prominent English and Scottish aristocrats including the Duke of Gloucester (whose maternal grandmother was a sister of Lady Florence Norman), the 7th Marquess of Salisbury (whose maternal great-grandmother was another sister), the 9th Duke of Buccleuch (whose paternal grandmother, shared with the Duke of Gloucester, was a sister of Lady Florence), and so forth.
