  • Notes 

    • --- "Hampshire Chronicle" 26 Nov 1804, page 4:
      On the 17th instant, at Culford Hall, in Suffolk, the Lady of the Hon. Lord Viscount Brome, of a daughter.

      --- Parish Register transcription for Culford gives birth as 17 Oct.

      --- "Western Daily Mercury" 17 Aug 1864, page 2:
      St. Germans--- The Earl of St. Germans, together with Lord Eliot and Lady Mary Ross arrived here last evening. As the carriage which contained the distinguished visitors passed through the village, the old church bells struck out a merry peal, welcoming them to Port Eliot.

      --- "Christchurch Times" 18 Sep 1869, page 7:
      On Monday a fire broke out in the residence of Lady Mary Ross, 60, Portland-place. By the exertions of the firemen the flames were confined to the two upper stories, which were completely destroyed, after which the roof fell in. Much damage was done to the lower part of the building. It is supposed the fire was caused by a spark from one of the workmen's pipes.

      --- "Illustrated London News" 24 Aug 1872, page 23:
      Obituary of Eminent Persons.
      Lady Mary Ross, widow of Charles Ross, Esq., died at Hampstead, on the 12th inst., in her sixty-eighth year. Her Ladyship was fourth daughter and coheiress of Charles, second Marquis Cornwallis, who was only son of Charles, the first and great Marquis. We recorded very recently the death of her sister, Lady Louisa Cornwallis. Her other sisters were the late Lady Braybrooke, the late Countess of St. Germans, and Lady Elizabeth Cornwallis, who survives.
