ROBERT SHIRLEY, 7TH EARL FERRERS
The son of the 6th Earl, Robert succeeded his father 1787. His first wife Elizabeth Prentise was the daughter of John Prentise, whom he married in 1778. Their only son was born in November the same year. She died in 1799 and he married secondly Elizabeth Mundy (d.1827), daughter of Wrightson Mundy of Markeaton. Their arms are engraved on this lot. They had no children so the title and the main estates passed to Lord Ferrers' brother Washington, however, the lesser Leicestershire estates passed to his natural daughter, Caroline Shirley (1818–1897). Lord Ferrers had a great interest in genealogy as a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.
