Caroline Walrond (née Codrington)

Profile & Legacies Summary

???? - 1833

Biography

Daughter of Edward Codrington, widow of Joseph Lyons Walrond (q.v.), mother of Bethell Walrond (q.v) and sister of Christopher Bethell Codrington and Admiral Sir Edward Codrington (each of whom q.v.). A part interest in the Rooms estate on Antigua came to her son from her family. She burned to death in an accident at Lasborough Park Gloucestershire in 1833.

Will of Caroline Walrond widow of Lasborough House proved 09/07/1836. Despite the level of annuity due to her under her husband's will from 1815 onwards, she left a few specific personal items and monetary legacies, and no real estate. By inference, she was renting Lasborough House (also known as Lasborough Park), a James Wyatt mansion built in the late 18th century.
