Early lifeShe was born Jennifer Mary Victoria Hammond-Maude on 14 August 1945, the daughter of a diplomat, Major Michael William Vernon Hammond-Maude, and his first wife, Rosamond Patrick.[4][5] He was the last undisputed Lord of the Manor of Baildon.[6] She had a half-sister, Clarissa Hammond-Maude, from his second marriage to Hon. Sonia Mary Peake, daughter of Osbert Peake, 1st Viscount Ingleby and Lady Joan Rachel de Vere Capell.[5] CareerAfter she married her third husband, she started a business career, with a grocery shop in Basingstoke, soon followed by a furniture shop, which sold three years later for a profit of £1 million, and bought a toiletries company.[1] In 1981, she bought the Ryman stationery shop chain from Ralph Halpern of Burton Group, before selling it in 1987 to Pentos for £20 million, growing the business value by nearly ten times in six years.[1][2] The success of her later ventures was more mixed, and she even had a recipe book published, complete with several celebrities contributing, Jennifer d'Abo At Home.[1] Personal lifeIn 1963, she married David Morgan-Jones, a Life Guards officer, they had a daughter, Sophie, and later divorced. In 1970, she married Peter Cadbury, who was 27 years older than her, and they had a son Joel Cadbury, but divorced in 1976. Peter Cadbury said that the split was because, "she's a better entrepreneur than me". Her third marriage, to the stockbroker Robin d'Abo, survived until 1987.[1][2] She stayed on good terms with all three of her former husbands, and once arranged a dinner with all three, which was a success; and she went on holiday with one ex- and her successor.[2] She was known for her eccentricities, her connections to socialites and her "larger-than-life style", "typified by trademark heart-shaped spectacles".[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/2003/may/06/guardianobituaries.rogercowe|title=Obituary: Jennifer d'Abo|first=Roger|last=Cowe|date=6 May 2003|newspaper=The Guardian |publisher=theguardian.com|accessdate=17 June 2016}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:d'Abo, Jennifer}}2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/jennifer-dabo-36510.html|title=Jennifer d'Abo|date=7 May 2003|newspaper=The Independent |publisher=independent.co.uk|accessdate=17 June 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/opinion/obituaries/article2088385.ece|title=Jennifer d’Abo – The Times|work=thetimes.co.uk|accessdate=17 June 2016}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1428906/Jennifer-dAbo.html|title=Jennifer d'Abo|work=telegraph.co.uk|accessdate=17 June 2016}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.thepeerage.com/p5742.htm#i57417|title=Person Page|work=thepeerage.com|accessdate=17 June 2016}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/2062686.battle_over_the_manor/|title=Battle over the Manor|newspaper=The Telegraph |publisher=thetelegraphandargus.co.uk|accessdate=17 June 2016}} 5 : 1945 births|2003 deaths|British women in business|British grocers|Businesspeople from London |
