more than one set of Lord and Lady X?

I'm confused, and I hope someone can help me: is it possible in the UK
for there to be more than one married couple called Lord and Lady X at
a given time? For example, could there be more than one set of Lord
and Lady Williams? (I picked that name at random.)

Someone else can provide a better answer for both Lord and Lady, but I know
it is possible for there to be more than one Lady Williams (for example),
because this style is used by the wives of men who have been knighted.

There could be a Sir John Williams, a Sir Henry Williams and a Sir Robert
Williams, and AIUI, the wives of all three would be Lady Williams.

Please help a poor, puzzled, and ignorant Canadian :-). Thank you!

There can be dozens. Take for example The Duke of Kent. If he had 10
sons - the eldest would have his father's courtesy title and the others
would all be Lord X Windsor. As each marriage you would have another set of

Lord & Lady Windsor. Now The Duke of Gloucester is Kent's first cousin, -

Now, you wouldn't. Lord X Windsor can't be styled "Lord Windsor". If
not styled "Lord X Windsor", he would be styled "Lord X", and his wife
as "Lady X".

No. They are Lord and Lady Firstname Windsor, not Lord and Lady
Windsor. Lord Frederick Windsor, for instance, is only so styled,
never Lord Windsor (at least never correctly so).

I suppose it's possible to have two pairs of Lord and Lady Tom
Windsor, if they were sons of different royal dukes, but the pool of
persons is not large and the pool of names is quite large, so I doubt
very much that a royal duke would give a son the same name as his
cousin.

repeat the scenario - 10 sons would produce 9 more Lord X Windsors. So you
could have 18 sets of L&Ls.

Look at the Liechtenstein Family - there are dozens of Princes & Princesses.
It is the same thing.

Continental practice with titles is very different from how things work
in the British peerages, and can't be used as any sort of parallel to
this.
