Mother: Eugenia Stoughton

Eugenia at her death was living back at St Johns Warwick ( the house her great grandfather had built), I do not know when she went back but family tradition has it that there was a falling out with her husband after he came back from the war and trod on one of he cats. It would have been after her mothers second husband had died and her mother and her brothers and her sisters, leaving her sole heir. When she died her son sold St Johns and lands to the Earl of Warwick who then built a new bridge over the Avon and relandscaped the castle lands . The results of which you can see to this day.

I have just after years found out why Eugenia was sole heir to St Johns rather than share with her sister Jane as per their fathers will. ... Jane died aged 24 when she came home from a ball. the parlor fire had died down so she was making it up when her dress caught alight . . sadly not an uncommon accident.
