The movers and seconders of the addresses in both Houses of Parliament: the Marquis of Sligo, 1864. Engraving from a photograph by John and Charles Watkins. 'The Most Hon. George John Browne, Marquis of Sligo, Earl of Altamont, Viscount Westport, and Baron Monteagle, in the Peerage of Ireland, and Baron Monteagle of Westport, in the county of Mayo...has been twice married - first, to Ellen Sydney, daughter of the sixth Viscount Strangford; and, secondly, to Julia Catherine Anne, daughter of Anthony Nugent, Esq., of Pallas, in the county of Galway, heir presumptive to the earldom of Westmeath; but both ladies are deceased. His Lordship has always been a consistent Liberal, and votes for the abolition of church rates. Although a regular attendant at the sittings of the House of Peers, the Marquis has hitherto not taken any active part in their Lordships' debates, and his moving the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne this Session may, in a manner, be taken to be his maiden speech'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
