Footnotes

The armorial is for William WENTWORTH-FITZWILLIAM (1748-1833) 4th Earl Fitzwilliam of Wentworth Woodhouse, Yorkshire and his wife Lady Charlotte PONSONBY (died 1822) second daughter of William PONSONBY (1704-1793) 2nd Earl of Bessborough by Lady Caroline CAVENDISH (died 1760) daughter of the 3rd Duke of Devonshire.
