Charlotte Osborne, Duchess of Leeds (16 March 1776 – 30 July 1856), formerly Lady Charlotte Townshend, was the wife of George Osborne, 6th Duke of Leeds.[1]
On 17 August 1797, Osborne married the duke, then Marquess of Carmarthen, at East Rainham in Kent.[2] In 1799 Osborne's husband became duke, and therefore, she became a duchess. They had three children:
Lady Charlotte Mary Anne Georgiana Osborne (c. 1806–1836), who married Sackville Lane-Fox and had children.
Lord Conyers George Thomas William Osborne (1812–1831)
The Duke of Leeds died in 1838, aged 62, to be succeeded by their son, Francis. The Duchess of Leeds died in July 1856, aged 80.
