Lieutenant-General Lord Frederick Fitzclarence 1841-4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Frederick_FitzClarence He served as Governor of Portsmouth 1844-51. Lt.-Gen. Lord Frederick FitzClarence (9 December 1799–30 October 1854) was an illegitimate son of King William IV and his mistress, Dorothea Jordan On 19 May 1821, he married Lady Augusta Boyle, the eldest daughter of the 4th Earl of Glasgow. They had two children: Augusta FitzClarence (1824–1865) William FitzClarence (b. & d. 1827) http://www.memorials.inportsmouth.co.uk/oldportsmouth/fitzclarence.htm To Lieut General Lord Frederick Fitzclarence G.C.H.

Lord FitzClarence was then Commander in Chief in Bombay. It was he who presented the piece of the Peninsular Colour set in crystal on a silver plate which is still attached to the pike of the regimental colour. http://www.irelandoldnews.com/Mayo/1850/JAN.html Major-General Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, commanding at Portsmouth, being desirous of improving the habits and the moral character of the soldiers of the garrison, intends giving them the advantage of a course of lectures on popular and instructive subjects. For this purpose he has engaged the Queen's Rooms, at Portsea. Etal St Mary the Virgin [Chruch]: Built by Lady Augusta FitzClarence in 1856-58 to the design of William Butterfield as a mortuary chapel in the grounds of Etal Manor. Her husband, Lord Frederick FitzClarence (illegitimate son of the Duke of Clarence, later King William IV) died in India in 1854. His body was brougth back to England. He, his daughter, Lady Augusta, and Lord Frederick's ADC are buried in the side chapel. 67. George Augustus, Lord Glenlyon, 6th Duke of Athole 1843-6 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Murray%2C_6th_Duke_of_Atholl George Augustus Frederick John Murray, 6th Duke of Atholl KT (20 September 1814–16 January 1864) was the son of James Murray, 1st Baron Glenlyon. On 29 October 1839, he married Anne Home-Drummond and they had one child: • John James Hugh Henry Stewart-Murray, 7th Duke of Atholl (1840–1917) He died in 1864, aged 49, from cancer of the neck. 116
As Lord Glenlyon, he formed the Atholl Highlanders in 1839 as his personal bodyguard. In 1844, when Queen Victoria stayed at Blair Castle, the Atholl Highlanders provided the guard for the Queen. So impressed was she with their turnout that she ordered they be presented with colours, giving them official status as a British regiment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Home-Drummond Anne, Duchess of Atholl (17 June 1814-22 May 1897) was born Anne Home-Drummond, daughter of Henry Home-Drummond of Blair Drummond. On 29 October 1839 she married the second Lord Glenlyon at Blair Drummond, thereby becoming Lady Glenlyon. In 1846 he succeeded his uncle as seventh Duke of Atholl, and Anne became Duchess of Atholl. She served as Mistress of the Robes to Queen Victoria in Lord Derby's short-lived government of 1852. The Duke of Atholl died in 1864, and Anne became Dowager Duchess of Atholl. In 1892, when Mr Gladstone again came to power, his policy of Home Rule for Ireland had alienated many of the upper classes, and no lady of ducal rank could be found who was willing to serve as Mistress of the Robes. The post therefore remained vacant, while the Dowager Duchess of Atholl and the Duchess of Roxburghe performed the duties of the office. http://www.visitdunkeld.com/atholl-memorial-fountain.htm < The Atholl Memorial Fountain was funded by public subscription and built in 1866 'to the memory of George Augustus Frederick John 6th Duke of Atholl'. The Duke had introduced a piped water supply to Dunkeld, prior to which all water had to be drawn from the River Tay - hence all the wynds leading to the water. The Fountain was designed by C S Robertson and erected on the site of the Market Cross. Several changes are apparent over the years, but there is fine detail in the carvings, which include native animals and birds. Masonic symbols are also incorporated, the 6th Duke was Grand Master Mason of Scotland from 1843 until his death in 1864. 68. John Whyte-Melville of Bennochy and Strathkinnes 1864-67 John Whyte Melville lived in Bennochy, Fife. 1 He lived in Strathkinness, Fife, Scotland. b. 21 June 1797, d. 16 July 1883 John Whyte Melville was born on 21 June 1797 in Bennochy, Fife, Scotland. 1 He married Lady Catherine Anne Sarah Osborne, daughter of Francis Godolphin-Osborne, 5th Duke of Leeds and Catherine Anguish, on 1 June 1819 in Straithkineses, Fife, Scotland, or in Strathkainer. 1 He died on 16 July 1883 at age 86 Family Lady Catherine Anne Sarah Osborne b. 13 March 1798, d. 23 December 1878 1. Children Catherine Margaret Melville+ d. 23 Apr 1856 2. John George Whyte Melville b. 19 Jul 1821, d. 5 Dec 1878 1 3. Maria Louisa Melville b. 1825 1 http://www.theroyalandancientgolfclub.org/index.cfm?cfid=4410458&cftoken=29126100&action=heritage.artgallery.gallery&id=2 John Whyte Melville (1797-1883) stands out as one of the foremost figures in the history of the Union Club and the Royal and Ancient. He became a member of the latter in 1816, when it was still known as the Society of St Andrews Golfers and in 1823 he served as Captain. A dedicated if not very accomplished golfer, his skills lay more in the administrative side of Club affairs. For six decades he worked tirelessly as a committee man for both the Union Club and the R&A. When they formally merged in 1877, Whyte Melville took the chair of the new management committee of the amalgamated clubs. It was indeed a mark of the esteem in which he was held, that he was given the honour of laying the foundation stone of the clubhouse when building work began in 1853. When the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) was elected to serve as captain in 1863, it was John Whyte Melville who stepped in as acting captain in the Prince's absence, to drive the ball from the first tee. Whyte Melville was elected Captain for a second time in 1883, a rare occurrence, but died before he could take office. The artist who painted the portrait was Sir Francis Grant (1803-1878), also a Club member and a friend of John Whyte Melville. Grant came from a golfing family. One of his brothers, John, was Captain of the Club in 1839 and another, James Hope (later Sir James Hope Grant) won the Royal Medal in 1838. Francis Grant himself had been elected a member in 1823. Grant trained as a lawyer, but gave up his studies to concentrate on painting. He produced other sporting images, particularly hunting scenes, but it is in the realm of portraiture that he established his reputation. By 1837, he was recognised as one of London's leading portraitists, much favoured by Queen Victoria. He began exhibiting works at the Royal Academy in 1834. In 1842, he was elected ARA and in 1851, he achieved full academician status. He was the first Scotsman to serve as President of the Royal Academy, having received his appointment in 1866. Queen Victoria knighted him soon afterwards. The portrait of John Whyte Melville was commissioned in 1874. It has hung in the Big Room of the Club since it was completed that same year.
