Biography

Frances Margaret Irby was the only daughter of Lt.-Col. Leonard Howard Loyd Irby and Mary Brandling.[3]

Since her presentation at court on 1 June 1906, presented by Lady de Blaquiere,[4] Irby, according to the journals of the time, showed to be somewhat wild. She married three times.[3]

On 12 December 1905, Frances Margaret Irby married Sir Morgan George Crofton, 6th Baronet (1879-1958), son of Capt. Edward Hugh Crofton and Isabel Annie Julia Miller; they divorced on 8 April 1910. They had one son, Major Morgan George Crofton (1907-1947).[3] Irby left Crofton for James Montagu without waiting for the divorce, creating a huge scandal, since she went to live with Montagu.[3]

On 22 October 1910 she married James Fountayne Montagu (1887-1971) of Papplewick Hall, son of James Wilson Montagu and Laura Adeline Thellusson; they divorced 1921.[3]

On 5 May 1922 she married John Wodehouse, 3rd Earl of Kimberley, son of John Wodehouse, 2nd Earl of Kimberley and Isabel Geraldine Stracey.[5] When they married, reporters asked the question "Can Lord Wodehouse's Love Tame His Lively Bride?"[6] They had one son, John Wodehouse, 4th Earl of Kimberley (1924-2002).[3]

Lady Kimberley died on 4 January 1950.[3]
