Colonel George Napier (11 March 1751 – 13 October 1804), styled "The Honourable", was a British Army officer, most notable for his marriage to Lady Sarah Lennox, and for his sons Charles James Napier, William Francis Patrick Napier and George Thomas Napier, all of whom were noted military officers, collectively referred to as "Wellington's Colonels". He also served as Comptroller of Army Accounts in Ireland from 1799 until his death in 1804. [Source: Wikipedia]

DIED.
On the 13th inst. at Clifton, the Hon. Col. G. Napier, Comptroller of Army Accounts in Ireland. A better or a braver soldier never served his Country ; a more upright or more diligent servant of the public never filled an office of trust. He was married to Lady Sarah Bunbury, sister to the Duke of Richmond. [London Chronicle - Saturday 20 October 1804, p.7]

The burial record comes from Parish burials, Redland, St Nathanael, Redland, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. Burial date: 17 Oct 1804. Record set: Gloucestershire, Bristol Burial Index. (In the record set England Deaths & Burials 1538-1991, St Nathanael is not mentioned. The church of St Nathanael (now Elmwood Church - a community centre) in Redland was not built until 1875 hence the record for the 'Hon George Napier' seems more likely to refer to Redland Parish Churchyard).
