{93} Ruvigny Addition: Mortimer/Percy Descent for Maria Harriet (née Hesketh), Lady Haldon (1826-1905)

Maria Harriet (née Hesketh), Lady Haldon
(1826-1905)
Continuing with the ancestry of Hon. Annette Maria (née Palk) Baird, mother of Muriel Jane (née Baird) Noel, we finally turn to her mother's family, the Heskeths. The family had been seated at Rufford Hall in Lancashire for centuries, when, in the latter half of the reign of Elizabeth I, Robert Hesketh (1560-1620), breaking with his family's recusancy, conformed to the Anglican church, and represented Lancashire in Parliament in 1597. He had been the first of the Heskeths to marry into the Edward I bloodline, taking for his first wife, Mary Stanley (d. 1586), from a junior branch of the family of the earls of Derby which had its seat at Cross Hall, in the parish of Latham. The three subsequent generations of Hesketh squires at Rufford Hall also married ladies descended from Edward I, and it was Thomas Hesketh (1677-1720), great-great-grandson of Robert Hesketh and Mary Stanley, who married Anne Graham (see Generation 13 below), a lady descended from the Percy earls of Northumberland. Had Ruvigny been aware of Anne's descent, he would have included the subsequent generations of Heskeths in his 1911 Mortimer-Percy volume.

Ruvigny's account of Elizabeth Slingsby
on p. 121 of Mortimer-Percy (1911)

[*1] Ruvigny includes Elizabeth Slingsby on p. 121 of the Mortimer-Percy volume, stating she was "aged 8 in 1627." He was apparently unaware of either of her marriages. Following the death of her first husband, Elizabeth (Slingsby) Fortescue m. 2nd 1646, as his 2nd wife, John Villiers, 1st Viscount Purbeck, b. c.1591; d.s.p.l. 18 Feb. 1658 Charlton House, Kent. The elder brother of James I's favourite, the Duke of Buckingham, Elizabeth's second husband brought her a title but no further issue. Her only child was Elizabeth Fortescue (see Generation 12 above).

The next blogpost will look at some other lines from Edward III for Maria Harriet (née Hesketh), Lady Haldon.

{92} Ruvigny Continuation: Descendants of Lawrence Palk, 1st Baron Haldon (1818-1883)

Lawrence Palk, 1st Baron Haldon
(1818-1883)
Before the ancestry of Maria Harriet (née Hesketh) Palk, mother of Annette (née Palk) Baird, is explored, I wanted to update, and elaborate on, Ruvigny's account of Annette and her siblings, which can be found on pp. 130-131 of his 1907 Exeter volume. In an earlier post, I pointed out that Annette's father the 1st Baron Haldon had a line of descent from George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence, which had been overlooked by Ruvigny. So the 1st Baron Haldon, his children, and his siblings and their children, all qualify for inclusion in the marquis's previous 1905 Clarence volume (the children of the 2nd Baron Haldon do appear in that volume, on pp. 93-94, via their mother's descent from the duke).

The barony of Haldon existed for fifty-nine years, not a long timespan when compared to other hereditary peerages, with five barons holding the title, though only the first two sat in the House of Lords. The founder of the family's fortune was Robert Palk (1717-1798), the second son of a successful yeoman farmer in the parish of Ashburton, Devon, who took deacon’s orders after leaving Oxford University, and sailed for India in 1747 as chaplain to Admiral Boscawen’s expedition. Transferring to the service of the East India Company, he took up administrative duties, and was appointed to succeed George Pigot as governor of Madras. The stretch of sea between India and Sri Lanka, The Palk Straits, were named after Governor Palk.
Sir Robert Palk, 1st Bt (1717-1798)
He returned to England for good in July 1767, with a considerable fortune, settling in the small fishing village of Torquay on the Devon coast, where he purchased a large house, Torwood Grange. Palk was well received by the King, and was returned to Parliament by his home parish of Ashburton the same year. In 1769 he purchased and greatly enlarged and improved Haldon House, near Exeter, which he made his principal seat, and in recognition of his efforts in securing India for Britain, and for generally supporting the government in Parliament, Palk was created a baronet by George III. Both Palk's son the second baronet, and grandson the third baronet, also had successful political careers in Parliament, and developed Torquay and its harbour by building Haldon Pier, the Torquay market, Hesketh Crescent, the Imperial Hotel, and the Teign Valley Railway. This cost most of the fortune which Sir Robert Palk had amassed, and the third baronet spent the final decades of his life living in France avoiding creditors.

The Palks reached their peak politically during the reign of Queen Victoria in the person of Sir Lawrence Palk, the fourth baronet, who was so helpful and supportive to the Whigs that in 1880, after more than twenty-five years of loyalty in the Commons, he was elevated to the peerage as Baron Haldon. He was less successful financially: despite owning more than 10,000 acres of land in Devon, which generated an income of £109,275 in 1873, most of the money went into paying off loans and mortgages secured against the estates. Then there was the problem of his heir:
Caricature of 2nd Baron Haldon in Vanity Fair
Lawrence Hesketh Palk, unlike his father and their forebears, had no inclination for politics, nor did he prove very effective within the military (unlike his three younger brothers). What he excelled at was being a gentleman, and the London of the late-Victorian period was a banquet for the aristocracy. The caricature of him drawn for Vanity Fair magazine later in his life fits completely into the stereotype of the English gentleman: starched collar, stuffed shirt, monocle, hands in his pockets. He had made a very good marriage at the age of 22 to Constance, the 21-year-old eldest of the three daughters and co-heirs of the 7th Viscount Barrington, and they had four children in their first seven years of marriage, making their home with her parents at their seat Beckett House, in Shrivenham, Berkshire. But by the close of the 1870s, the marriage was on the rocks. In the summer of 1880, mere weeks after her father-in-law was elevated to the peerage as Baron Haldon, Hon. Constance Palk ignored her husband's wishes, and embarked on a trip to Italy and Egypt. Whether or not she ever returned to England is not certain from the court documents, but what is certain is that she never returned to her marriage. In May 1882, she filed for divorce on the grounds that her husband had been having an affair in London with one Clara Mary Charlotte Smith. In his response, Lawrence Hesketh Palk denied the adultery and claimed it was his wife's abandonment of him that was the real issue. Ten months later, in March 1883, Lawrence Hesketh's father died, and he succeeded as 2nd Baron Haldon. Two weeks later, he came to an agreement with his estranged wife: they asked that the petition for divorce be dismissed, but they remained permanently separated, with the new Lady Haldon making her home in Naples. Though he had staved off the scandal of a divorce, the 2nd Baron Haldon could not stave off the creditors, and the next few years saw tremendous pressure put on him by financial institutions to sell the family holdings. In 1892, Haldon House and the surrounding area as well as Torquay and the harbour were all sold, forcing the second Lord Haldon into bankruptcy, which in turn forced him out of his seat in the House of Lords. The peerage that had been granted as the result of a long political career now had no voice whatsoever in the political process. The 2nd Baron Haldon retired to Fulham, a middle-class suburb of London, where he lived modestly but generously, and was beloved by the locals.

What remains has been made into a hotel.
The financial difficulties of the family, combined with their parents' separation, devastated the children of the 2nd Baron Haldon, and the three younger ones never married, while Lawrence William Palk, the eldest child and heir to the barony, would come to wish he never did. He was 23 years old when the family seat of Haldon House was sold, and already surpassing his father in the gentleman-in-London lifestyle.
Lidiana (née Maichlé), Mdlle. Minska
(c.1856-1928)
He took up with Lidiana (née Maichlé) Drew, a twice-married Swiss-born actress, twelve years his senior, who billed herself as Mdlle. Minska, and who was having success on the Drury Lane stage. She was in the process of divorcing her second husband Swedish-born Erik Forssell when she began the affair with young Lawrence William Palk, who brashly married her in March 1893 at St James Westminster. The couple then went to Australia with Lawrence William hoping to rebuild the family fortunes, and a son was born there three years later. When he made money on the goldfields, Lawrence William went to Sydney, and qualified as a mining engineer, but as he approached his thirties the young heir realized that the marriage he had made in the heat of passion, had turned sour. He joined the Imperial Yeomanryand served in the South African War, while his wife returned to the stage, now billing herself as Lady Haldon. Even before he succeeded to the title at his father's death on the last day of 1903, the 3rd Baron Haldon had begun proceedings to nullify his marriage, claiming that his wife's attempt to divorce her previous husband Erik Forssell had not proved successful, and so his own marriage to her was bigamous. Lady Haldon countered that in October 1892 she had obtained from the Magistrate's Court in Stockholm, a permanent decree of divorce from Forssell. When World War I broke out, Lord Haldon, despite being in his mid-40s, joined up as a private, and fought bravely, being mentioned in despatches. Back in England following the War, Lord Haldon, who described himself as "a peer by birth and a mining engineer by profession," found that neither earned him a living. Though previous attempts to nullify his marriage, made in 1902 and in 1905, had failed, Lord Haldon tried again. A deed of separation was obtained in 1920, followed by the attempt of his estranged wife, long retired from the stage, to recover money from him, which resulted in the court in Croydon, Surrey, awarding her, in October 1922, £2/month, which it deemed all that Lord Haldon was able to afford. He collected his mail at the House of Lords, but slept in low-rent boarding houses, and even on park benches, as the press discovered after he was caught in a police round-up of vagrants along the Thames.
3rd Baron Haldon (1869-1933)
His wife's death at the end of 1928, finally freed up the nearly 60-year-old Lord Haldon to improve his lot through a second marriage. The woman he settled on was the 62-year-old Edith (née Biggs) Brightman, a comfortably middle-class widow of a Bristol boot manufacturer and dealer, and with her money, they set themselves up in a modest flat in the London suburb of Clapham. By April 1930, fourteen months after their marriage, the couple were now in an extremely cheap boarding house in Brixton. Lady Haldon took off on her own one evening at the end of the month, and her body was discovered by Brighton police the morning of May 1st at the base of the 100-foot Black Rock cliff, after a boy reported to them that he had seen a woman fall over the cliff. The press once again had a field day with Lord Haldon when he appeared at the inquest and collapsed in sobs at the end of his testimony. Though the court did not come to the verdict of suicide, the general public did. Lord Haldon retired to the West Country, dying at age 63 in an inexpensive boarding house in a Cornish village. When he was buried with his parents in the parish churchyard of Kenn, a few yards from Haldon House, the only family to attend was his sister Florence Palk. His long-estranged son, the new Lord Haldon, was a no-show.

Lawrence Edward Broomfield Palk succeeded as 4th Baron Haldon at the age of thirty-six, and the new 20th-century head of the family was a far cry from the 18th-century family founder and first baronet, Sir Robert Palk. He started off promisingly enough: he was placed in Beaumont College, a Jesuit-run prep school known familiarly as the "Catholic Eton." On the outbreak of World War I, Lawrence Edward followed in his father's footsteps and enrolled with the Royal Engineers, serving with them in Gallipoli, Egypt and Mesopotamia, and rising to the rank of Captain. But on his return to England after the war, he went AWOL in London in June 1919, then was court-martialed in September for bouncing cheques. This was a harbinger of things to come. Later in life, the disgraced and impoverished heir would ascribe "a harum-scarum youth" as the reason for at various times working as "an engineer, soldier, flax-farmer in Kenya, cinema actor, furniture salesman, and even a cook on a cargo boat." What he failed to include in his list was convicted thief.
St John Churchyard, Toft, Cheshire
After being repatriated from Nairobi in 1921 under a Vagrancy Act, a Westminster court sentenced him in September 1922 to three months imprisonment for stealing £640 worth of property. Upon his release, he travelled third class to South America, possibly to jump-start his engineering career, but was back in London by the summer of 1923. In December 1926, the 30-year-old Lawrence Edward Palk disappeared altogether, and his concerned father Lord Haldon had his picture splashed across the London papers, with the added descriptive, "Looks and is a malarial subject." This turned out to be Palk fleeing from yet another robbery: he was apprehended in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, having not eaten for a week, and the next month convicted by a Marylebone court of two counts of robbery and fraud. He was sentenced in March 1928 by a Tottenham court to two months' hard labour for stealing rings, and when Palk found himself once again in the dock a few months later in September, charged with stealing by the Croydon police court, his father Lord Haldon described him as "hopeless." His mother Lady Haldon died two months later in November 1928, and the following year Lawrence Edward was working as a waiter at a hotel in Holborn when he met Irene Felix, a 28-year-old woman who lived with her father in a small flat in Clerkenwell. They became friends and confidants over the next nine years, and as Irene later relayed to the press, Lawrence Edward, now Baron Haldon, wished to marry her but it was impossible due to his dire financial straits. In December 1937 he became too ill to work at his job addressing envelopes at an advertising firm, and he would visit Irene and her father in Clerkenwell every day for a meal. The following month a woman contacted Lord Haldon by letter, saying she had been a close companion of his father the 3rd Baron in his last years, then offered to pay for his medical care through his illness and to provide a small allowance for him when he recovered. She signed herself "Lady Marcia Clive." Over the next few months, Lady Clive would infrequently make trips into London and see Lord Haldon but never for more than a few days. On the night of August 14th, 1938, the 42-year-old baron collapsed on the steps of Westminster Hospital from a burst gastric ulcer, a hurried operation proved unsuccessful in saving him, and he died two days later, with Irene Felix the last person to see him alive at his bedside.  Lady Clive then descended upon London, gave an interview to the Daily Mail where she claimed to be his grieving widow, they having secretly married in Scotland after a long romantic history. She had  Lord Haldon's body removed from London and buried in the churchyard at Toft, Cheshire, where she had a country cottage. Meanwhile Irene Felix claimed to reporters that Lord Haldon had expressed his desire to her that he wished to be buried with his mother in the Catholic cemetery at Kensal Green.

Succeeding as 5th Baron Haldon was Lt-Col. E. Arthur Palk, the only surviving son of the 1st Baron Haldon. He was an 84-year-old veteran of the South African War, a childless widower who had been living in seclusion as an invalid at Little Testwood House, in the Hampshire parish of Totton. It was hardly on the scale of Haldon House, where the octogenarian had grown up, but it was comfortable and respectable. Five months later in January 1939, the fifth and final Baron Haldon died in his bed, but though he came to a peaceful end, his title did not. Scandal hadn't quite finished with the Barons Haldon. Two months later on March 15th, the papers announced that "yesterday Lady Haldon of Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, widow of the 4th Lord Haldon who died in August last year, gave birth at her country residence at Toft near Knutsford, Chershire on Monday night. The baby will be christened Lawrence Edward Broomfield after his father." It took over a year for the truth to out:
Lizzie Summers aka
'Lady Marcia Clive'
'Lady Haldon' was 'Lady Marcia Clive,' and she was not a lady of means in her forties as she claimed to be, but a 61-year-old adventuress with multiple marriages in her past who had been determined to snare a title. Florence Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Summers, born in 1879, ran away from home to go live with a gamekeeper whose wife had died. She had three children with him before they legally wed in 1907, but she abandoned him and during World War I met Capt. Arthur Ireland, a physician who had come to England with the Canadian Medical Corps. She married him bigamously in 1917, and they had their only child the following year when Lizzie was age 40. When this marriage collapsed ten years later, Lizzie decided she wanted a title, but her awkward attempt to snare the 3rd Baron Haldon after the suicide of his second wife in 1930, which involved barging into his Brixton boarding house and letting it be known that she was his intended next wife, failed. She floundered for awhile: a brief marriage (1935-36) to an insurance salesman 24 years her junior, netted her nothing. But the next brief marriage, to homosexual con artist Frederick Linwood who went by the assumed name of 'Lord Hugh Clive,' which was annulled on the grounds of non-consummation, did allow her to use the moniker 'Lady Marcia Clive.' By that point, the 4th Baron Haldon's illness became known to her, and she wormed her way into his life. In March 1939, she sent her secretary into a Cheshire village asking if there was an unwanted child to be adopted. A woman, Mrs. Basford, took up the offer and turned over her infant son. Lizzie, using her physician ex-husband (whom she would re-marry later that year), staged a show for the press. Dr. Ireland was stepped forward as a witness to the 'birth', which helped to motivate the vicar of Toft to baptize the changeling Lizzie cradled in her arms in her cottage as the son of the late Baron Haldon. In the ensuing months, Lizzie did return the infant boy to his mother Mrs. Basford, and sadly he died soon afterwards. In December 1940, Lizzie was found guilty by a jury of double bigamy, and of forging a birth registration. The judge, ruling that uncontrollable vanity drove her to these acts, sentenced her to three years penal servitude, and her secretary and co-conspirator to twelve months. It was an ignominious end to the barony of Haldon, but considering that some forty years previous, the then holder of the title, the 2nd Baron Haldon, had been caricatured in the pages of Vanity Fair, perhaps not an inappropriate one.

It's interesting to note that of the twelve adult grandchildren of the 1st Baron Haldon, only five went on to have children themselves, and that today, the only living descendants of the 1st Baron Haldon are those of his elder daughter, Hon. Annette Baird.

The next blogpost will look at a line of descent from Edward III for Maria Harriet (née Hesketh), Lady Haldon, that is an addition to Ruvigny's 1911 Mortimer-Percy volume.

{91} Edward III Descents for Dorothy (née Shafto), Countess of Lisburne (1734-1805)

Dorothy (née Shafto), Countess of Lisburne (1734-1805)
Having explored the ancestry of Elizabeth Nightingale, the first wife of the first earl of Lisburne, it's now time to turn to the ancestry of his second wife, Dorothy Shafto, who is an ancestress of the present earl of Lisburne, of Hon. Annette Maria (née Palk) Baird, and of Diana, Princess of Wales.

The Shaftos can be traced back to the 15th-century, when William Shafto married the heiress of Bavington Hall in Northumberland and acquired that estate. A younger branch of the family established themselves as merchant adventurers in Newcastle-on-Tyne in the following century, intermarried with leading gentry families of that city, including Riddell, Brandling, and Eden, and served terms there as mayor and sheriff. Mark Shafto (1602-1660) was a second son who pursued a career in law, and served as Recorder of Newcastle. Since the family seat Benwell Tower, in the west end of the city, was the inheritance of his elder brother, Mark needed his own seat for his family and purchased Whitworth Park, on the river Wear in county Durham, in 1652. He had married Mary Legard, the daughter of a Newcastle merchant who was, in turn, descended from the Yorkshire gentry family seated at Anlaby Hall, and their elder surviving son Robert followed in his father Mark's footsteps and pursued a legal career. Robert Shafto was a Royalist during the Civil War, and this served him well at the Restoration, when he was reinstated as Recorder of Newcastle, eventually knighted, and became the first member of the family to marry into the Edward I bloodline, taking to wife Katherine, one of the four surviving daughters and co-heirs of a former Speaker of the House of the Commons, Sir Thomas Widdrington of Cheeseburn Grange Hall in Northumberland, and a granddaughter of the 2nd Lord Fairfax of Cameron. Sir Robert Shafto's only son and heir Mark Shafto (1662-1723) served a term as High Sheriff of county Durham, and maintained a London residence, but otherwise lived quietly and held no other public office. This was not the case for his elder son Robert Shafto (1690-1729), who was first returned to Parliament by the city of Durham in 1712 at age 21. When Robert died childless in 1729, six years after his father, his younger brother John Shafto not only inherited Whitworth Park, but the seat in Parliament as well, being returned by the city of Durham the following year in a close election.

Marriage bond of John Shafto and Dorothy Jackson, 8 May 1731
[*1] There is confusion in the Shafto of Whitworth accounts regarding the Jackson wife of John Shafto (and mother of Dorothy, countess of Lisburne), starting with her first name. Robert Surtees, in his 1823 Pedigree of Shafto of Whitworth, says she was "Mary, dau. and heir of Thomas Jackson Esq. Town-clerk of the City of London and of Nunnington co. York," and this is followed by Burke's Landed Gentry, Complete Peerage, History of Parliament and ODNB. It is clear, however, from her marriage and burial entries, that her first name was not 'Mary' but 'Dorothy.' Surtees was correct in his identification of her father. Nineteenth-century historian Charles Jackson, in an appendix to The Autobiography of Mrs. Alice Thornton, of East Newton, Co. York (1873), provides further information on the Jacksons of Nunnington, including a transcription of a M.I. in Stonegrave Church, Yorkshire. When combined with the parish register of St Lawrence Jewry in London, and Boyd's Inhabitants of London, a clear picture emerges of the father of Dorothy Jackson, wife of John Shafto. Thomas Jackson, Town Clerk of London 1724-37, bap. 10 Jan. 1675 St Nicholas Church, Stonegrave; d. 6 July 1737, bur. 12 July 1737 St Lawrence Jewry, London, yst son of Thomas Jackson of Nunnington in Stonegrave (c.1631-1702) and his wife Mary --- (c.1636-1679); m. 5 Jan. 1703 St James Church, Westminster, Bridget Goodfellow, bur. 7 Nov. 1705 St Lawrence Jewry. What also is clear is that Thomas Jackson and his wife Bridget had two children only, sons, both named Thomas, who died in infancy: Thomas Jackson, bap. 28 Sept. 1703 St Lawrence Jewry, and Thomas Jackson, bap. 24 Apr. 1705 St Lawrence Jewry, bur. there 10 Sept. 1705. We know from her marriage bond that Dorothy Jackson was aged upwards of 22 years in May 1731, so born in 1708-09, and was of the parish of St Michael Bassishaw in London. If she was legitimate, her father Thomas Jackson the Town Clerk must then have taken a second wife after the death of Bridget in 1705.
Marriage entry for Thomas Jackson and Mary White
All Hallows Lombard Street register
Thomas Jackson of the parish of St Michael Bassishaw and Mary White of the parish of St Giles Cripplegate were married 22 Oct. 1706 All Hallows Lombard Street, London. John and Dorothy (née Jackson) Shafto named their three daughters Dorothy, Margaret and Mary. Since 'Margaret' was the name of John's mother, it makes sense that 'Mary' may be the name of Dorothy's mother (which could also explain Surtees's error in 1823). So her first name, and the parish of St Michael Bassishaw, is strong evidence that Mary White was the second wife of Thomas Jackson the Town Clerk, and mother of his only surviving child, Dorothy Jackson, wife of John Shafto. Unfortunately, I was unable to locate a baptism entry for Dorothy Jackson in the various London parish register databases, so I cannot prove that Mary White was her mother, but there is enough evidence that I'm comfortable in making her so in my database. Following the 1742 death of John Shafto of Whitworth Park, Dorothy (Jackson) Shafto m. 2nd (lic. 12 June) 1746, William Wynne, whom I am unable to further identify. As there are no evident Edward I lines of descent behind the Jacksons of Nunnington, they fall outside the scope of my project. But as ancestors of Prince William through his mother Diana, Princess of Wales, the family is undoubtedly of interest and hopefully other genealogists will be able to shed further light.

Through her father, Dorothy (née Shafto), countess of Lisburne, has several lines of descent from Edward III. The seven through that monarch's granddaughter Joan (née Beaufort), countess of Westmorland, follow.
