I assume the bride is related to the Earls of Scarborough?

I have checked the family's records on thepeerage.com, and cannot find the bride's father in any line of descent, going all the way back to the first earl.

That's not to say he's not related to them, but if he is, the connection is distant. Or, the link is not listed on the website.

If she was closely related to the Earls of Scarborough, it would be in the announcement. They always mention noble relations.

The bride's paternal aunt Sarah is Baroness Hemphill through her marriage to the 6th baron.
