and the Foreign Office are searching for the Hon. Deborah Vivien Freeman-Mitford, seven- teen-year-old daughter of Lord and Lady Redesdale, who is believed to have gone to Spain in an attempt to marry her eighteen- year-old cousin, Esmond Romilly, nephew of Mr. Churchill.
Romilly, recently fighting on the Mad- rid barricades in the International Column, is believed to be making for Bilbao, Govern- ment stronghold now cut off by insurgent troops.
Miss Mitford was believed by her parents to be staying in Dieppe, where Colonel and Mrs. Romilly have a house. Last week a messenger brought them a letter dated from Bayonne, 'on the Franco- Spanish border, stating, she might attempt to marry Romilly in Spain.
Lord Redesdale made every possible attempt to intercept his daughter and bring her home. Ilis solicitors sought the aid of Scotland-yard, the Foreign Office, the Consular Service, and the Spanish Embassy.
It was found the girl had not visited Colonel or Mrs. Romilly. They did not know she had fled from Dieppe.
