15 March 1746 –

Charles Howard, 10th Duke of Norfolk and Catherine Brockholes. From 1777 until 1786 he was styled
Earl of Surrey.
He was known for actively participating in the
Whig party as part of the opposition to

Edward Gibbon), was reputed to be his secret third wife and she'd five children by him, including two sons who were
officers of arms,
