Yes, I think an error in reading the original notifications of his promotions is to blame for the confusion. On another note, was he really Carroll's great uncle? If Robert Wilfred Skeffington Lutwidge was his uncle (as Carroll's mother's brother), then Admiral Lutwidge is in reality the uncle of Major Charles Lutwidge, who is in turn the uncle of R. W. S. Lutwidge, who is in turn the uncle of Lewis Carroll. Would this not make Admiral Lutwidge R. W. S. Lutwidge's great-uncle, and Carroll's great-great uncle?

Yes, to put it more directly, the Admiral's nephew was Carroll's maternal grandfather, but sources consistently say "great-uncle" and I assume they are using the term in the more general sense. (The Lutwidge and Dodgson families intermarried: Carroll's parents were cousins, so the Admiral was related to Carroll in more than one way.) Cusop Dingle (talk) 07:36, 15 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
