| Description |
Mrs. Francis Gregg, née Janet Bell (1761-1841), married Francis Gregg, son of Francis Gregg, M.P. (1734-1795) in 1790. The elder Gregg was an attorney and agent for the 5th Earl of Carlisle, and represented Morpeth 1790-95, resigning when Lord Carlisle's son, Viscount Morpeth (later the 6th Earl) came of age. He also served as Clerk for the Skinners' Company from 1759 until his death. Francis Gregg, Jun. (1761-1825) was also an attorney and succeeded his father as both Lord Carlisle's agent and as Clerk of the Skinners' Company. George (1802-1828) attended Harrow 1814-1819 and was called to the bar in 1825. He also succeeded his father as Clerk of the Skinners' Company. He had a younger brother, William (1807-1823) (born after this portrait was painted), and an older brother, Francis (1794-1840), also an attorney, who published several treatises on bankruptcy law. The family had a seat at Wallington in Surrey. |
