  • Notes 
    • m1 William ABDY
      m2 Charles Augustus CAVENISH-BENTINCK

      On 3 July 1806 she married Sir William Abdy of Felix Hall, Essex [3] at Camelford House in the Parish of St George, Hanover Square. [4] William and Anne had no children and on 4 September 1815 Anne created more scandal, eloping with her lover, William's friend, Lord Charles Bentinck. Regretting it next day she sought to return to her husband. A great deal of vacillating followed until Anne's exasperated father washed his hands of all three of them. William took the matter to the courts and was awarded £7000 damages plus costs against Lord Charles. A bill for divorce was entered into the House of Lords on 3 May 1816 and received the Royal assent on 25 June. [5] The customary provision that the guilty parties should not be allowed to marry having been struck out, Anne and Lord Charles were married on 23 July at St Martin in the Fields. [6] [1]
