   Well, given that he pronounced his name differently, I assume not.   
      
   He had seven children (one died in infancy), and his three daughters were:   
   Maria Teresa, Harriet Mary, and Meg. (The boys were Auberon, James, and   
   Septimus.)   
      
   Besides, even if Sylvia were just a niece or a cousin, it shouldn't be so   
   difficult to find that information!   
      
   (Btw, since I knew what British actor Boris Karloff's real name was, I once   
   asked a British writer - who had originally had the same surname - if they   
   were related, since they were both born in Surrey. "Nooooo, I don't THINK   
   there's any connection." He    
   would have been only too happy to have been related to Karloff, I'm pretty   
   sure.)
