Wilfred Stamp, 2nd Baron Stamp

Stamp was born in Hereford,[1] while his father was working there as a civil servant for the Inland Revenue.

[2] Stamp married on 10 December 1929, a fellow Cambridge graduate (BA),[2] Katharine Mary, daughter of Tom Wickett of Redruth, Cornwall.

[2] They had three daughters:[3] At time of his death he lived near his father at 'Farringleys', Park Hill Road, Shortlands, Beckenham, Kent.

English law has a legal fiction that, when the order of death is indeterminable, the eldest is deemed to have died first.

Legally therefore Wilfred momentarily inherited the peerage of Baron Stamp and the family had to pay death duty twice.
