Mary Turner Lombe was born 3 October 1732, in London, England, the daughter and co-heir of Sir Thomas Lombe, Alderman, and Sherriff of London 1727 and his wife, Elizabeth Turner.[1],[2]
Her father died 8 January 1739 bequeathing a fortune of 120,000 pounds equally to his widow and his two daughters, Mary and her elder sister Hannah, who married Sir Robert Clifton, 5th Baronet.[3]
Mary Turner Lombe married James Maitland, at that time styled as Viscount Maitland, later 7th Earl of Lauderdale, son of Sir Charles Maitland, 6th Earl of Lauderdale and Lady Elizabeth Ogilvy, on 24 April 1749 at Merton, county Surrey.[2]
Mary and James had the following children:[4]
When her husband succeeded as 7th Earl of Lauderdale in 1744, she assumed the title Countess of Lauderdale, and died 20 July 1789 at Halton.[2]
The Complete Peerage, states that she was in her 15th year when she married in 1749 and aged 55 when she died in 1789, which would place her birth in about 1734. Need to check whether the birth in 1732, was for her or perhaps an elder sister with the same name who died young?

As WikiTree forbids the editing of a profile to represent a different person, the only option is to remove Lombe-8 as the wife of James Lauderdale and removing her as the mother of the Lauderdale children, and merging Lombe-8 with Lombe-2. If the correct name of the wife of James Lauderdale is identified with reliable sources, then that profile can be created.
