1791 - 1830 (39 years)
Generation: 1
1. | Margaret Douglas-Maclean-Clephane was born in 1791; died on 2nd April 1830 in Rome, Italy. Notes:
Margaret Douglas MacLean Clephanes long name is the result of her father inheriting three different estates from his father, mother and wife. But Margaret can hardly have known him, as he died abroad when she was a child, and the estate which was most important to the surviving family was her mother's clan lands in Mull, where the family lived, worked, and drew their identity. Margaret was a poet, and her husband had some of her work printed posthumously. They are available on-line.
Died:
After some years of ill-health, she died in Rome shortly after the birth of their sixth child [which one?], on 2nd April 1830.
Margaret married Spencer Joshua Alwyne (2nd Marquess of Northampton) Compton on 24 Jul 1815. Spencer (son of Charles (1st Marquess of Northampton) Compton) was born on 2 Jan 1790; died on 17 Jan 1851. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
