Subject: Frederick Duke of York's illegitimate son?
Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2005 22:46:40 +1100


Frederick Duke of York 1763-1827 is said in 1789 to have fathered a son by a Susannah Hussey Tyrconnel.

I know of a Hon. Sarah Hussey Delaval, Countess of Tyrconnel.
She lived from 1763 until 1800. In 1780 she married George Carpenter, 2nd Earl of Tyrconnel and they had two children born in 1782 and in 1784. She left her husband to go and live with John Lyon-Bowes, 10th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne.

However, she still may have been the mother of this child who went to Australia and has a number of known descendants.

Does anyone have information which can confirm this illegitimate child as son of the Duke of York? The son went by the name of John Molloy.

With many thanks
