Personal Notes:

Hon. Isabella Elizabeth Annabella Forester was the daughter of Cecil Weld-Forester, 1st Baron Forester of Willey Park and Lady Katherine Mary Manners. She married Maj.-Gen. Hon. George Anson, son of Thomas Anson, 1st Viscount Anson and Anne Margaret Coke, on 30 November 1830. She died on 29 December 1858.
Her married name became Anson.
Lord Malmesbury wrote that "Mrs. Anson is dead, from taking by mistake an overdose of laudanum. They kept her walking about for several hours, but in vain. One of the handsomest women of her day." Henry Greville wrote that "there was such a natural gaiety and cordiality about her, something so attaching, that I hardly ever have seen the like in any other woman."
