Lord William Beresford, 1895. 'Lord William Beresford's Marriage. There are not so many weddings between "fair women and brave men" that one can afford to pass by the nuptials of Lilian, Duchess of Marlborough, and Lord William Beresford. The bride is well known and esteemed in London society as the widow of the eighth Duke of Marlborough. The bridegroom is a brother of the Marquis of Waterford and of Lord Charles Beresford, and has attained great popularity in India, where he served as military secretary to two or three Governors-General. Lilian, Duchess of Marlborough, is a daughter of the late Commodore Cicero Price, of the U.S. Navy. She married Mr. Hammersley, an American gentleman, whose enormous estates devolved upon her when he died. In 1888 she became the wife of the Duke of Marlborough, who died four years later. She has lately lived for the most part at Deepdene, a charming estate at Dorking, connected with the Hope family. Lord William Beresford won the Victoria Cross, and in undaunted courage he resembles other members of his family'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
