Jerningham Papers
|_ [from Scope and
Content] The personal correspondence (c.1,800
letters) was found in disorder with almost no original
bundles surviving and the present arrangement, which is
largely by recipient, is artificial. The largest groups
are the correspondence of Frances, wife of Sir William
Jerningham (dated 1796-1823), Sir George Jerningham
(1810-1846) and his wife, Frances (1804-1832) and their
son Henry Valentine, 9th Baron Stafford (1828-1884).
There are a number of letters from Edward Jerningham, the
eighteenth century poet and dramatist and some of his
verse is also to be found amongst the personal
miscellanea (D641/3/P/4/14/20). The correspondence of
Marianne Smythe who married Edward Stafford Jerningham in
1828 includes letters to and from Maria Fitzherbert and
one to Mrs. Fitzherbert from the Prince of Wales
(D641/3/P/3/29).
