I think that Kintetsubuffalo/Chris has a good point when he says that the article ""reads more like a family genealogy"", but I don't think that the solution is to trim out the less notable people.   On the contrary, they have a place in the story of the family, but the significance of their role intends up being uninentionally overstated by the article's structure.
The genealogy is clearly an important part of the article, but I suggest that it should be at the bottom of the article, in the place where an appendix would be in a book. What the article needs, I suggest, is a clear narrative,  telling of the story of the family's activities. That could be done either thematically (e.g. politics, medicine, industry) or chronologically, or maybe by a combination of both approaches.
Vernon has clearly done a lot of excellent research, and has plenty of useful material with which to tell the story here, and I would really enjoy reading the story once it's written up.  I have been looking for a few articles which might serve as examples of how this might be done, and found a few which might help:
Rothschild banking family of England (the best I found)
Bulmer (family) (a much weaker article but it tells a story)
Mitford family (narrative a bit short, but heading in the right direction)
German sisters (more integrated than the Mitfords)
Smalbroke family (chronologially ordered, and somewhat genealogical in focus, but does tell a story)
Hope this helps. But in the meantime I have removed the notability tag, because notability doesn't actually seem to be in question.  (talk) • (contribs) "
