Mother and daughter are here buried together. E118/ CAROLINE EMILY (THOMPSON/POPHAM) PAKENHAM was the daughter of Admiral Sir Home Popham, her youngest brother, D25/ HARCOURT POPHAM, being buried in Sector D. NDNB, Oxford University Press, gives permission for the entry for his father, Sir Home Popham (who invented the flag code used by Nelson at Trafalgar, 'England expects that every man to do his duty'), an entry written by descendant Hugh Popham and well worth reading, to be retrieved at http://www.oxforddnb.com/public/dnb/22541.html. 'JAMES' and 'THOMPSON' on the tomb are clearly errors. Gentleman's Magazine has the Obituary of her father-in-law, Hon. Sir Thomas Pakenham, G.C.B., Admiral of the Red. A Web entry from Ian Anderson, 24/8/2003, gives: 'I am not related to the Pakenhams, however I am a medal collector and I have a Naval General Service medal 1793 clasp St Sebastian to John Pakenham, Lieutenant. O'Byrne's Naval Biography, page 851, deals with this man. It was compiled between 1845 and 1850 on a Who's Who system of the British Navy . . . it states amongst other things that John Pakenham was born 18 October 1790, is the fourth son of the last Admiral Hon. Sir Thomas Pakenham, GCB (second son of the first Lord Longford), by Louisa, daughter of the Right Hon. John Staples and brother (with Lieut. Henry Pakenham, Royal Navy (1827) who died in April 1839) of the present Edward Michael Conolly, Esq, DCL, Captain R.A. and M.P. Donegal. Captain Pakenham is first cousin of Major General Hon. Sir Edward Michael Pakenham, GCB who fell at New Orleans 8 January 1815; of Lieut. Gen. Hon. Sir Hercules Robert Pakenham, KCB, a distinguished Peninsula officer; of Captain Hon. William Pakenham, RN who was lost in the Saldanha frigate in 1811; and of the last Duchess of Wellington. This officer entered the Navy 22 April 1801. He accepted retirement 1 October 1846. He married 3 November 1817 Caroline Emily (E118/ CAROLINE EMILY (THOMPSON/POPHAM) PAKENHAM), third daughter of the late Rear Admiral Sir Home Riggs Popham, KCB, by whom he had issue a son and three daughters. What I am trying to establish is the date of his death. . . I have, from the Public Record Office, a photocopy of John Pakenham's Memorandum of Services to 1815, written in his own hand and signed'. JLMaquay, Diaries 7/2/1841 'a note from Pakenham after breakfast informed me poor Elizabeth (E118/ ELIZABETH ISABELLA PAKENHAM) died yesterday at 6 o'clock' 9/2/1841 'attended Eliz P funeral at 7 o'clock' 10/2/1841 'Poor P and his family are much affected but Mrs P has no energy and none of them will think of moving for a week or two which would be absolutely required to make the house sweet after such a continuation of illness.' Maquay (D1/ HUGH CHRISTOPHER JOHN MAQUAY, E74/ ELIZABETH (DISNEY) MAQUAY) and Pakenham had founded their bank following the collapse of that of Kerrich (D144/ HARRIET EMILY MARY KERRICH, D143/ CHARLES EDWARD KERRICH). The Pakenhams were married for 26 years. He would marry again, his second wife, the widow, Mrs Felix Tollemache, born Julia Peters, an ardent proselytiser. Captain John Pakenham, who was Secretary of the Naval and Military Bible Society, established in 1780, was in legal trouble in Florence for circulating Bibles in translation. That activity would cause his expulsion first from Lucca, then the Grand Duchy, then Genoa, with their flight to Switzerland, then Cannes, and would result in a very large dossier in the Foreign Office. The Webbs have other family references.
