Please can someone tell me the relationship between Lady Mary Montagu, the friend of Alexander Pope and Basil Montagu, the friend of Coleridge and Wordsworth.

I've Googled and Googled and still can't find it.

Many thanks

What I know, that Lady Mary Wortley Montagu had with Alexander Pope only acquaintance.
John Montagu had among other children by the singer Martha Ray, also Basil Montagu.

Does that mean that Lady Mary was Basil's grandmother?

The poets were a bit of a red herring, sorry about that.

Thanks

I've got that Lady Mary Wortley Montagu lived from 1689 to 1762. So which Edward did she marry?

I hope I'm not confusing you ...... it's bad enough I've confused myself!
