George Fitzroy, Earl of Euston: Birthdate: August 24, 1715: Death: July 07, 1747 (31) Immediate Family: George FitzRoy, Earl of Euston was an English aristocrat and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1737 to 1747. [4], In 1902, Euston was taken to court by moneylenders over a dishonoured bill payment. The most famous duke was probably Augustus FitzRoy, 3rd Duke of Grafton, who served as prime minister in the 1760s. A keen shot himself, he also loved salmon and trout fishing, and racing at Newmarket. His mother was the daughter of MP James Balfour. At great expense Walsh's presumed husband was located in New Zealand and brought to London. Duke of Grafton is a title in the Peerage of England. [7], Euston married a music hall artiste Kate Walsh, daughter of John Walsh, on 29 May 1871 at St. Michael's Church, Worcester. But behind the somewhat forbidding exterior was a wicked sense of humour, a high intelligence and a deep loyalty to old friends and his extended family, the younger generation of which was especially devoted to him.
A few months later Euston was declared bankrupt, with liabilities of over 54,269 pounds and assets of just 174 pounds. Lord Euston married, in 1972, Lady Clare Kerr, a daughter of the 12th Marquis of Lothian and sister of the Conservative politician Michael Ancram; they had a son and four daughters.
He paid a sovereign to get in.
After five years the founders were bought out by Enskilda's Scandinavian parent, and went on to establish another boutique, Jamestown Investments, which specialised in putting deals together in the financial sector. Henry James FitzRoy, Earl of Euston DL (28 November 1848 – 10 May 1912) was the eldest son and heir apparent of Augustus FitzRoy, 7th Duke of Grafton. [12], In 1890, Euston was embroiled in the Cleveland Street scandal when he was accused of visiting a male brothel at 19 Cleveland Street in London by The North London Press, an obscure radical weekly newspaper. In 1894, while presiding at a police court in Towcester, Euston sentenced a man to one month's imprisonment for stealing a cake valued at 3d from a shop in the village of Blisworth, then part of the ducal estate. The Grafton dukedom was created in 1675 for Henry Charles FitzRoy, the third of five illegitimate children of King Charles II by his long-time mistress Barbara Villiers – who became Countess of Castlemaine when her husband was ennobled (as compensation for being cuckolded) and was later Duchess of Cleveland in her own right. James Oliver Charles FitzRoy, Earl of Euston FCA (13 December 1947 – 1 October 2009) was the eldest child of the 11th Duke of Grafton and his wife Fortune. [8] Described as "one of the most notorious women in London" she was at least ten years his senior. [5] Newton had acted for Lord Arthur Somerset during the Cleveland Street scandal.
