re iv: was Consuelo Vanderbilt's* mother Cuban?

(* side-eye to my phone swipe vocabulary for having Vanderbilt but not Consuelo.)

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

apparently her *godmother* -- who she took her name from -- was cuban, her mother was from alabama

(the godmother was consuelo yznaga, later Duchess of Manchester)

i think you're probably right here, and the questioner is a bit muddled

Google (Startpage, actually) says I'm wrong: it's actually a library at the University of Manchester (http://www.library.manchester.ac.uk/rylands/our-history/the-people/enriquettarylands/).

i) There's a Boole library at University College Cork? But I imagine any algebraic logician might have a library named after them by a proud university?
