I don't know how accurate the book is (it cites Burke's Landed Gentry--Aytoun of Inchdairnie). He did flee the marriage when he sobered up, and lost the house to debt within either five or 10 years. Later, he married another rich widow.<br /><br />And since he isn't mentioned in other first person journals of folks present during Gibraltar, some historians speculate that he might not have been there.<br /><br />I am sad that this guy isn't included as a cameo in more historical fiction.compcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13007889665734751398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-74034236833603573202017-05-24T20:34:49.633-04:002017-05-24T20:34:49.633-04:00Is this what they mean by "England swings&quo...Is this what they mean by "England swings"?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02277112067515789876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-33274681623862801942017-05-18T20:14:56.216-04:002017-05-18T20:14:56.216-04:00If ever I was tempted to do a GoFundMe, for the sa...If ever I was tempted to do a GoFundMe, for the sake of posteriors...

I couldn't find photos of the inside. It is hard to estimate, but it does not look as large as I would have imagined from its name, Hough Hall. (And a tip of the hat to the Macrons.)<br /><br />https://chorltonhistory.blogspot.com/2015/02/has-hough-hall-in-moston-future.htmlKaren Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306986336556283751noreply@blogger.com
