LifeStuart-Wortley was born in York in 1820 when her surname was Thompson. Her family adopted the surname Lawley when her father became Lord Wenlock.[1] In 1846 she married James Stuart-Wortley.[2] They had two sons and five daughters:[3]
In 1846, her husband was sworn in as a Privy Counsellor. In 1852 she became a woman of influence when she inherited a considerable fortune from her father. Her husband held office as Solicitor General for England and Wales under Lord Palmerston from 1856 until May 1857. He had to resign in 1858 due to spinal injuries sustained in a riding accident. He and Jane left London to live at Upper Sheen House near Mortlake where she cared for him. He became worse in 1869 and they moved back to London. In London Jane was able to delegate the care of James at least in part to their daughters.[1] Jane was now more available to find her own interests. She took a great interest in schemes in London that were aimed at improving the lot of the poor. She supported the East London Nursing Association[1] which since 1868 had supplied a network of District Nurses in east London. Each parish supplied funds and lodging for their nurse and matrons would ensure supervision.[4] Stuart-Wortley's husband died in 1881 and she died at Ripley House in Ripley, Surrey, on 4 February 1900, aged 79.[5] LegacyA memorial fund in her name was created in 1901 by her children that benefited a nursing charity.[6] References1. ^1 2 Jane Stuart Wortley, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Retrieved 31 January 2016 {{DEFAULTSORT:Stuart-Wortley, Jane}}2. ^{{cite book|author=charles r. dod|title=The Peerage, Baronetage, and Knightage of Great Britain and Ireland|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=UuQNAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA585|year=1848|page=585}} 3. ^{{cite web | title=Theroff's Online Gotha | url=http://www.angelfire.com/realm/gotha/gotha/bute.html | accessdate=2016-01-31}} 4. ^{{cite book|author1=David Doughan|author2=Peter Gordon|title=Dictionary of British Women's Organisations, 1825-1960|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=T423AwAAQBAJ&pg=PA42|date=3 June 2014|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-136-89770-2|page=42}} 5. ^{{Cite newspaper The Times |articlename=Deaths|day_of_week=Tuesday |date=6 February 1900 |page_number=1 |issue=36058| }} 6. ^{{cite book|author=Great Britain.
