Yes San, from that link you have given this is the connection.
From William Humble Ward (1867-1932) the 2nd Earl of Dudley and Rachel Gurney, their son was:-
William Humble Eric Ward (1894-1969) who became the 3rd Earl of Dudley who married Rosemary Millicent Sutherland-Leveson-Gower (1893-1930) in 1919. Their eldest son was William Humble David Ward (1920-2013) who became the 4th Earl of Dudley. William & Rosemary's youngest child was Peter Alistair Ward (1926-2008) who married Claire Leonora Baring (1936-2019) in 1956. These are the parents of Rachel Clare Ward who married Bryan Brown both of The Thorn Birds television programme that we absolutely loved.
