Oxford DNB continues to confuse this Member with his namesake (d. 1877), who attended Eton and Trinity Coll. Camb. (The same error in DNB is identified in Alumni Cantab. pt. 2, ii. 514.) Oxford DNB also gives a death date of 22 Dec. 1859, following Gent. Mag. (1860), i. 184. The correct date, as reported in The Times, 20 Dec. 1859 and Fitzroy’s will, is 17 Dec. m. 29 Apr. 1839, Hannah Meyer, da. of Nathan Meyer, Bar. de Rothschild, of London, 1s. d.v.p. 1da. d. 17 Dec. 1859.
