Notes about Elizabeth Charlotte EDEN

Lord Auckland's daughter Elizabeth Charlotte Eden married Francis Osborne, 1st Baron Godolphin. She was known in the Eden family as "Charlotte." In one of her younger sister Emily Eden's letters she writes of Lady Osborne: "Sister and I . . . went [last Monday] to [Francis Osborne's seat in Cambridgeshire] Gog Magog [House]. I invited myself of course, but [Lady] Charlotte bore it very well. I was there fifteen years ago in the capacity of a child: I therefore did not see much of her, or know anything of her and except that, have not seen her but for two or three morning visits per annum; so it was a voyage of discovery, in the style of a North Pole expedition. The Frost intense--and a good deal of hummocky ice to sail through. However, I really liked it better than expected. Lord Francis [Osborne] is particularly pleasant in his own house, and young Charlotte very civil and good-natured. (Emily Eden. "Miss Eden's Letters." Violet Dickinson, ed. London: Macmillan, 1919, p. 93).

Elizabeth Charlotte Eden's son was the famous London "Times" correspondent "S.G.O." who wrote numerous letters-to-the-editor under that initialism. He also wrote about the workhouses in Ireland during the Great Famine and was with Florence Nightingale in Scutari during the Crimean War. Elizabeth Charlotte Eden's eldest son George Godolphin Osborne became the 8th Duke of Leeds in 1859.
