notebook of Edward Campbell Stuart Cole DEATH OF LORD CONGLETON (my Uncle) Lord Congleton, who had been lying seriously ill at Castle Hill Avenue, Folkestone, for some days, died there peacefully at a quarter to three on Saturday morning, in the 88th year of his age, in the presence of the whole family, excepting that of his eldest son, who was expected from Malta in the course of the day. Henry William Parnell, 3rd Baron Congleton, was second but eldest surviving son of Henry Brooke, 1st Lord Congleton. He was born March 23rd, 1809, and served for a period in the navy, having been present as a midshipman of the Glasgow at the battle of Navarino in 1827, and subsequently retiring from the service as a lieutenant. He served the office of High Sheriff for county Westmeath, in which county he possessed landed property, in 1861. Lord Congleton, who was a conservative in politics, was twice married; first, in 1835, to Sophia, daughter of Colonel the Hon. William Bligh; secondly, in 1851, to his cousin the Hon. Caroline Margaret Dawson, Maid of Honour to the Queen, daughter of the late Hon. Lionel Charles Dawson. His eldest surviving son by his first marriage, who succeeds to the title, is Major-General the Hon. Henry Parnell, C.B., who was born in July 1839, and has had a distinguished military career, serving in the Crimea, commanding the 2nd Battalion of the Buffs in the Zulu War, the 18th Regimental District from 1888 to 1892, and an infantry brigade at Malta from 1895. Only last July he was given a good service medal. He married, in 1895, Elizabeth, youngest daughter of the late Mr. Dugald Dove, of Nutshill, Renfrewshire. This is the family to which the late Mr. Charles Stuart Parnell belonged. (Accompanied by picture from the ‘Daily Graphic’, 15 August, 1891)
