owner of Hedingham Castle Mabel Lindsay James Ludovic Lindsay, 26th Earl of Crawford (28 July 1847 - 31 January 1913) Lady Anne Catherine Sybil Lindsay (1858 - 15 December 1936), married Hon Francis Bowes-Lyon, son of Claude Bowes-Lyon, 13th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, and became Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's paternal aunt-by-marriage. Lady Jane Evelyn Lindsay (14 May 1862 - 2 January 1948) Bibliotheca Lindesiana The Bibliotheca Lindesiana, was planned by Lord Lindsay and both he and his eldest son were instrumental in building it up to such an extent that was one of the most impressive private collections in Britain at the time, both for its size and for the rarity of some of the materials it contained. The bulk of the library was kept at Haigh Hall in Lancashire with a part at Balcarres. The 26th Earl issued an extensive catalogue of the library in 1910: Catalogue of the Printed Books Preserved at Haigh Hall, Wigan, 4 vols. folio, Aberdeen University Press, printers. Companion volumes to the catalogue record the royal proclamations and philatelic literature. The cataloguing and organization of the library was a major task for a team of librarians led by J. P. Edmond. The manuscript collections (including Chinese and Japanese printed books) were sold in 1901 to Enriqueta Augustina Rylands for the John Rylands Library.
