Edward Henry Torlesse Liveing [445] writes in a letter to Dr E W Ainley-Walker dated 4 Oct 1935, regarding a ring in the Liveing Archive:
. . . . . "you were asking about Sarah Skrine (sister of Richard) who married 1st Zachary Brandon and 2nd Hon: Walter Molesworth - Curiously enough I have amongst a large number of memorial rings one which does not appear to be a death ring¹. It has a cross of 5 diamonds and one ruby in centre inside it is engraved Sir George Molesworth with no date and outside in blue enamel is
ABSENTIS PIGNUS AMICITAE²
he was the 2nd son of Sarah Skrine who married W Molesworth"

1. 2023 - The ring is no longer in the Archive.
