Guy Martin
Martin was born on 4 November 1981 in a suburb of Grimsby, Lincolnshire, England. He was named Guy in tribute to Guy Gibson of No. 617 Squadron RAF. His father Ian was a successful privateer motorbike racer who had competed in several Isle of Man TT events, but he was forced to supplement his income with a job as a lorry mechanic, additionally selling bikes. His mother, Rita Kidals, was of Latvian heritage, her father having come to Britain in 1947 as a political refugee. Soon after Martin's birth, the family moved to a house outside the town, where they remained, having four children in total.
Guy de Lasteyrie
He was born on October 3, 1879 to Louis Pierre Gilbert de Lasteyrie du Saillant, marquis de Lasteyrie du Saillant (August 19, 1849 - March 19, 1923) and Olivia Elizabeth Goodlake (June 28, 1853 - March 30, 1916). Guy was referred to as "Count" Guy de Lasteyrie between 1879-1923, because it was customary to refer to the eldest son of a marquis as "Count." It was also customary for the eldest son of a marquis to refrain from using the title "marquis" until the time of his father's death. Guy was a descendant of American Revolutionary War hero Gilbert du Motier, marquis de Lafayette (1757-1834). Guy married Constance Whitney Warren, the daughter of George Henry Warren II, in St Patrick's Cathedral on December 19, 1912. Guy and Constance were divorced in either 1920 or 1922.
