Biography
Charlotte who was illegitimate, was born in 1750 the reputed daughter of Henry, son of Daniel Finch, Earl of Winchilsea. [1]. She is mentioned in Henry's will, along with her three siblings, and their possible mother Elizabeth Hands, to whom Henry left £2,000. Charlotte's inheritance was to be paid to her on 18 July 1771, when she most likely would have been 21 years old.
She married Thomas Raikes, Governor of the Bank of England, on 8 December 1774 at St George, Bloomsbury, married by Richard Raikes, marriage witnesses John Mason and Henry Finch [2]. The marriage witness Henry Finch was most likely her oldest brother, who was also mentioned in their fathers will.
Charlotte died about 9 March 1822 at Petersham, Surrey. She was buried on 15 March 1822 Bromley, Kent [3]
Her estate valued at less than £5000 was not settled until 11 January 1881, probated to Horatio Fitzroy, the surviving executor of the will of her daughter, Georgiana. [4]
