Honor born 1892, William Humble Eric born 1894, I cannot find at the moment the birth dates of the next 3 they are Morvith, Roderick and Alexandra, finally twins born in 1907 Edward and George.
William the 1st Earl was born in 1818 and died in1885. I’m afraid I seem to have only noted the male offspring of the 1st Earl namely John, Robert, Reginald, Cyril and Gerald but I think you have confirmed this at least in part
