• Notes

  --- "Western Morning News" 19 Sep 1892, page 5: DEATH OF LADY TAUNTON. We regret to announce that Lady Taunton, who has been lying seriously ill at her town residence, 101, Eaton-place, London, during the past nine weeks, died shortly after midnight on Saturday morning. Lady Taunton was the sixth and youngest daughter of the sixth Earl of Carlisle, and an aunt to the present Earl of Carlisle. She was born in 1823, and in 1852, as Lady Mary Matilda Georgiana Howard, married the first Lord Taunton (better known, perhaps, as the Right Hon. Henry Labouchere), who was Chief Secretary for Ireland in Lord John Russell's Administration of 1846 to 1852, and Chief Secretary of State for the Colonies in the latter part of Lord Palmerston's first ministry of 1855 to 1858. It is a singular coincidence in connection with the life of the late Lady Taunton that her ladyship's brother (then Lord Morpeth), her step-daughter's father-in-law (the Earl of St. Germans), and her husband, the late Lord Taunton, held the chief secretaryship for Ireland, as an office which wrecked the political careers of so many statesmen in the three successive Ministries of Viscount Melbourne, Sir Robert Peel, and Lord John Russell, for the whole of the period (with a slight interregnum), extending from 1835 to 1846. Lady Taunton had no children, but Lord Taunton left three daughters by a former marriage, the youngest of whom is the present Countess of St. Germans. The two elder sisters are married respectively to Mr. E.J. Stanley, M.P. for the Bridgwater division of Somerset and to Major-General Arthur E. A. Ellis, C.S.I., a relative of Lady Howard de Walden and equerry to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales. Lady Taunton's death will put a large number of aristocratic families in mourning, and although she had not in recent years appeared predominently in society the memory of her fine commanding presence and noble and upright character will long be kept green, and her death deplored. By none will Lady Taunton's death be more keenly felt than by the Countess of St. Germans who, from her earliest childhood, up to the time of her marriage to the Earl of St. Germans, in 1881, was the constant and almost sole companion of her stepmother. The countess has also been nursing her stepmother with the tenderest devotion during the past few weeks. Lady Taunton was a frequent and regular visitor at Port Eliot, Lord St. Germans' seat, but the only semi-public occasion in which she took part there, was in 1885, when she stood sponsor to Lord Eliot, the Earl of St. German's elder son and heir. The late Lord Taunton, who was an uncle to Mr. Henry Labouchere, M.P., was created a peer in 1859, but on his death, 1869, without male issue, the barony became extinct. The Earl of St. Germans, who had been in London, with the Countess, for about a fortnight prior to Lady Taunton's death, only returned to Cornwall on Friday in order to entertain the Duke and Duchess of Leeds, who are his guests at Port Eliot. But on receipt of a telegram on Saturday morning announcing that Lady Taunton had passed away, his lordship took the first available train for London, where he arrived on Saturday evening.
