Early life

Guy Montagu George Finch-Hatton was born on May 28, 1885. He was the son of Henry Finch-Hatton (1852–1927) and Anne Jane Codrington,[1] (died 20 June 1924), daughter of Admiral Sir Henry Codrington and Helen Jane Smith. Together, his parents had: (1) Gladys Margaret Finch-Hatton (1882-1964),[2] (2) Guy Montagu George Finch-Hatton (1885-1939); and (3) Denys Finch Hatton (1887–1931), big-game hunter

Finch-Hatton's father, the 13th Earl of Winchilsea was the second son of George Finch-Hatton (1791–1858), the 10th Earl of Winchilsea, and his third wife Frances Margaretta Rice (1820–1909).
