George Wyndham, 1st Baron Leconfield, Henry Wyndham, Charles Wyndham, Frances Wyndham, Charlotte Wyndham, Lady Elizabeth Wyndham
Elizabeth Ilive (or Iliffe; c.1769[1] – 30 December 1822[2]) was an English polymath. She was the mistress and later wife of George Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont. She was the mother of eight of his children.
Elizabeth Ilive came from Oxford and her father may have been a printer[3] and/or a master at Westminster School.[4] She became Wyndham's mistress in 1785.[5] They were married in 1801, but only one of their children, a daughter who died in infancy in 1803, was born in wedlock. Soon afterwards, the couple separated.
The children born to the couple prior to their marriage were:
Colonel George Wyndham, 1st Baron Leconfield (1787–1869);[6] George inherited his father's unentailed estates, including Petworth House in Sussex, Leconfield Castle in Yorkshire and Egremont Castle in Cumbria, in preference to the earl's nephew George Wyndham, 4th Earl of Egremont, who inherited the title. Colonel Wyndham was created Baron Leconfield in 1859. He married Mary Fanny Blunt, and had children, including Henry Wyndham, 2nd Baron Leconfield.
Frances Wyndham (1789–1848), who married Sir Charles Burrell, 3rd Baronet, and had children.
General Sir Henry Wyndham (1790–1860), who married Elizabeth Somerset but had no children.
Edward Wyndham (1792–1792)
William Wyndham (1793–1794)
