Family tree (Caryll)

Notes:

Nursed by the Bruges Augustinians, she died whilst on her way home from Aix. Because of her long term ill health her father obtained permission to take her to the baths at Aix in July 1729 and negotiated additional time before re-entering the convent in order to recover: see I annals 444.

Her dowry was provided by Lord John Caryll, 1st baron Durford in the Jacobite peerage.
