Edward Chichester, 6th Marquess of Donegall

The son of the elderly George Chichester, 5th Marquess of Donegall (1822–1904), Chichester was educated at the École nouvelle de la Suisse romande, Eton, and Christ Church, Oxford, and took up a career in journalism. For many years he wrote a column in the Sunday Dispatch under the title "Almost in Confidence". He made regular contributions to the Sunday News and Sunday Graphic, and also held a staff position on the Daily Sketch. Donegall parted from his wife after 10 years, and in 1962 moved to Switzerland. In 1968 the Marquess was granted a divorce under Swiss law and in that same year he married Maureen McKenzie (née Scholfield), daughter of Major Geoffrey C. Scholfield of Birkdale, Lancashire, and former wife of Douglas McKenzie, whom she had married in 1947. Donegall resigned as president of the National Canine Defence League in 1957. He had been connected with the League for more than thirty years. ==Death==

He died in Switzerland on 24 May 1975 at the age of 71. His second wife and widow died in 1999. At the time of his death, the Marquess was working on his autobiography, which he planned to call Almost in Confidence, after the newspaper column he had run. It was not ready for publication before he died. ==Notes==
