Biography
Caroline was born about 1823.
Caroline, noted as Honourable and the Maid of Honour to Queen Victoria married[1][2]Henry Parnell, a widower and noted as Honourable, on 10 March 1851 at The Parish Church, St Georges Hanover Square, Middlesex, England, United Kingdom and the service was performed by the Right Honourable The Lord Bishop of Ripon. At the time of the ceremony, Caroline resided in Chapel Street, London and Henry Parnell resided in Bryanston Square, Marylebone, Middlesex. Her father Lionel Parnell is noted as Honourable and her father in law Henry Parnell is stated as Lord Congleton.
