Biography

Frances was born 3 Sep 1777. She was the fifth child of Rt Hon John Beresford by his second wife Barbara Montgomery

Marries James Whyte 1805 St Geo Hanover Sq.

Frances Honoria Beresford, daughter of the Right Hon. John Beresford, the latter being the brother of the 1st Marquess of Waterford, married James Whyte on 9 July 1805.^[1]

The marriage took place at St George's Hanover Square.^[2]

In 1805 Anne Constantia Uniacke, the daughter of John Beresford and the widow of Robert Uniacke, married Robert Doyne. Her sister was married on the same day. ^{[3] [4]}

A Country House 1841 Pilton, Devon

James Whyte 65+, Frances 60+ and five children aged 15 to 30+ are together at Pilton House, served by six domestics living in, and no doubt others outdoors or working as needed. Although James is described as independent rather than Landowner, farmer or magistrate, documents in the property show that he was the landowner.^[5]

Family in Bristol 1851

In 1851 James and Frances Whyte were in their seventies, but both alive in 6 Carlton Place, Bristol, Gloucestershire with a daughter, Selina 43, a daughter-in-law Mabella 29, and three grandchildren. Their wealth is shown by six servants living in. ^[6]

Death 1860 London

Frances died in fashionable London early in 1860: She was 82 years old. ^[7]

Research

Much of this information is based on Burke (op cit) with no more direct resort to original sources, which would clearly be desirable. For example if the date of her parent's marriage and the date of her own birth are both accurate, she can neither be her father's fifth child, nor her mother's fifth child.
