    • • "Life of William Pitt, Earl of Chatham" by Basil Williams, Volume 2, page 247:
      On Saturday, November 16, 1754, two days after the opening of the session, William Pitt and Lady Hester Grenville were ;married in her lodgings in Argyle Street. Dr. Ayscough, brother-in-law of George Lyttelton, and an old friend of both families, married them under special license. A few friends only were present at the ceremony, and on the same day Pitt and his wife went to West's house at Wickam, lent them for their brief honeymoon. . . . they were undisturbed together for barely ten days.
