Biography
From Wikipedia:
- Burnaby was born in the parish of St George Hanover Square, Westminster, the son of Major-General Edwyn Sherard Burnaby, who went on to become a member of parliament, and of his wife Louisa Julia Mary Dixie, daughter of Sir Willoughby Wolstan Dixie, 8th Baronet. [1] He had an older sister, Hilda Louisa. Their mother died in 1881, and their father in 1883, when Burnaby was fifteen, and he thus inherited the Baggrave estate in Leicestershire as a minor.
- On 13 April 1896, Burnaby married Sybil Cholmondeley, only daughter of Hugh Cholmondeley, 2nd Baron Delamere and Augusta Emily Seymour, herself a daughter of Sir George Hamilton Seymour. They were divorced in 1902, having had one son, Hugh Edwyn Burnaby, born at Westminster in 1897. On 18 July 1908, at York Harbor, Maine, Burnaby married secondly Minna Field, a daughter of a rich American, Henry Field, of Chicago, and a niece of Marshall Field.
- Burnaby died on 13 November 1938. His son and heir, Hugh Edwyn Burnaby, sold the Baggrave Hall estate in 1939 and settled in Oxfordshire. His step-mother, Burnaby's second wife, settled in Coconut Grove, Florida, and died there in May 1952.
- Hugh Edwyn Burnaby died in December 1950, leaving a widow, Vilma Dorothea Ludourka Todenhagen, whom he had married in 1923, and a substantial fortune. Ludourka Burnaby lived until 1982. Burnaby's sister Hilda died unmarried in August 1953, aged 87.
