Lady Rose is the niece of Robert Crawley, Earl of Grantham. How she is related to him is currently unknown, but as Rosamund and Marmaduke had no children[5] it is most likely through Cora.

- ↑ Rosamund and Marmaduke had no children, so Rose has to be Cora's niece and thus Robert's niece through his marriage to Cora
- ↑ When Sybil states that she feels sorry for her aunt, Mary states that she doesn't and says that she'd love to "be alone in a big house in Eaton Squarw with all that money"'; this means that Rosamund is alone after being widowed and has no children, so Rose CANNOT be Rosamund's daughter otherwise Rosamund would NOT be alone, and thus, must be a niece of Cora and Robert would be her uncle by marriage
