Notes:
Eliza Emma Prendergast (1795-1833) was the daughter of John Grieve, physician to the Emperor Alexander of Russia. On 2 July 1822, she married Guy Lenox Prendergrast (1773-1845), with whom she had one son and two daughters. Guy's ancestors were feudal lords at Clonmel, near Newcastle, county Tipperary. Guy served in the East India Company from 1793 to 1826, reaching appointment to the governing council of Bombay. With his first wife Dorothy Christian (née Lushington, ca. 1778-1821), Guy had four sons and three daughters; some members of this portion of the family are also depicted in the present album. Guy served in Parliament (for Lymington) in 1826 and 1827. See also: The History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1820-1832, ed. D.R. Fisher (2009); and Foster, J. The royal lineage of our noble and gentle families (1884).
