Person

We think this lady must be the Lucy Phillimore referenced in the 1922 Seeking My Roots, on page 279-280: "Lucy was born at 42, Clarges Street, London, about five minutes before 8 o'clock p.m., on Wednesday, the 30th of October, I 850. Baptised at St. George's Church, Hanover Square, by one of the Curates, on the Ist of January (Feast of the Circumcision), I 8 5 I. Godfathers: The Hon. Richard Cavendish (brother of Lord Burlington, afterwards on his brother becoming Duke of Devonshire, Lord Richard Cavendish). The Rev. Henry Glynne, Rector of Hawarden, Flintshire. Godmothers: Mrs. (Lucy) Wickham, wife of Henry Wickham, Esq., 15, Chesterfield Street. Miss Stanley, daughter of the late Bishop of Norwich. Lucy has written a life of Sir Christopher Wren, published by Kegan Paul in 1881, and sundry papers and articles in the Monthly Packet, Church Quarterly and other papers, also a memoir for children of Bishop Wilberforce, 1876.

She acted as Mrs. Gladstone's Private Secretary from 1892 until Mrs. Gladstone's death in 1900.
