An UPDATE to the d'ESTOUTEVILLE LINE

Since the April 2018 update, another member of the d'Estouteville line has died. In addition, I had overlooked the death of another member of this line which occurred in 2017.  

Bishop Edward Francis, emeritus of Sivagangai, died on 11 April 2017.  Bishop Yves Bescond, Titular Bishop of Aquae Thibilitane and former Auxiliary of Meaux, died on 23 August 2018. May they rest in the peace of the Lord.
