Percy Florence Shelley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Percy Florence Shelley, 3rd Baronet (12 November 1819-5 December 1889) was the son of Percy Bysshe Shelley and Frankenstein author, Mary Shelley. His middle name, Florence, came because he was born in Florence in Italy.[1]
[edit] Early life and education
Shelley moved back to England with his mother in 1822, his father having drowned off the Italian coast. He joined Harrow School in Middlesex in 1832, and went up to Trinity College, Cambridge in October 1837.
[edit] After Cambridge
Shelley inherited the baronetcy upon the death of his grandfather in 1844, becoming the 3rd Baronet, of Castle Goring, Sussex. He married Jane Gibson on 22 June 1848, who had previously been married to the Hon. Charles Robert St. John, son of the 3rd Viscount Bolingbroke and the Viscountess Bolingbroke, Baroness Hompesch.
The couple had no children, although they adopted Bessie Florence Gibson, the daughter of Edward Gibson who was possibly Jane Gibson's brother.[2]
