Talk:Jane Digby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] George Anson

Can anyone confirm if the George Anson mentioned in In Search of Nomads (and other places) is this one. thePeerage.com seems to suggest this might be the case. Mrabbits 21:00, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid I can't answer your question but perhaps it would help others who might be able to answer if you gave the context in which he was mentioned? --Richard Clegg 08:35, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply (and apologies for the lack of context!). Unfortunately, on this subject the book only says, "Jane first had an affair with her cousin George Anson, and then eloped with a dashing foreign diplomat, Prince Felix Scharzenberg". A bit of searching on the website mentioned (assuming it can be regarded a reliable source) seems to indicate this George Anson was indeed her cousin. So I think the answer to the question is probably yes, but I wondered if it perhaps said so in the biography mentioned in the References section. Mrabbits 18:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
