Family{{refimprove section|date=May 2016}}Wellesley was bisexual or homosexual,[7][8][9] but married Dorothy Violet Ashton (21 August 1885 – 11 July 1956) on 30 April 1914. The marriage was unhappy and they separated in 1922[10] but never divorced. She was the daughter of Robert Ashton of Croughton, Cheshire (himself a second cousin of the 1st Baron Ashton of Hyde) and was descended from wealthy cotton manufacturers, and his wife (Lucy) Cecilia Dunn-Gardner, later Countess of Scarbrough. Her stepfather since 1899 was Aldred Lumley, 10th Earl of Scarbrough. They had two children:
Dorothy, a poet, became the lover of Vita Sackville-West,[11][12] (who wrote her entry for the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography).[13] Curiously, Gerald Wellesley had been engaged, before his marriage, to Sackville-West's lover Violet Trefusis.[10] Dorothy later became the lover and long-time companion of Hilda Matheson, a prominent BBC producer.[10] After his wife's death in 1956, Wellesley reportedly wished to marry his widowed sister-in-law, Lady Serena James, but she did not wish to leave her marital home.[14] Wellesley was the maternal grandfather of the actor and musician Jeremy Clyde.{{citation needed|date=May 2016}} References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/f689780011351 |title=Irish Genealogy |website=Churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie |date= |accessdate=2016-05-19}} 2. ^{{Cite book|title=The Bonus Of Laughter|last=Alan|first=Pryce-Jones|publisher=John Murray|year=1987}} 3. ^{{Cite book|title=Amateur Agent|last=Butler|first=Ewan|page=16}} 4. ^{{cite journal|first=Dan|last=Cruickshank|authorlink=Dan Cruickshank|title=Wills and Wellesley|journal=National Trust Magazine|page=38|date=Summer 2012|publisher=National Trust}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101125190-church-of-st-mary-and-st-george-wycombe|title=Church of St Mary and St George, Sands, Buckinghamshire|last=Stuff|first=Good|website=britishlistedbuildings.co.uk|access-date=2018-12-15}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-14871760|title=National Trust renovates Portland House, Weymouth|publisher=BBC News|accessdate=19 May 2016}} 7. ^{{Cite book|title=WB Yeats: The Man and the Milieu|last=Aldritt|first=Keith|publisher=Clarkson Potter|year=1997|page=337}} 8. ^{{Cite book|title=Bleak Houses: Disappointment and Failure in Architecture|last=Brittain-Catlin|first=Timothy|page=92}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=kw5iBQAAQBAJ&pg=PT85&lpg=PT85&dq=malcolm+bullock+homosexual&source=bl&ots=NI6RfCI0UR&sig=1f6UQyEFB1FrJV_ap22oxSON87Y&hl=en&sa=X&ei=KGt1VYadEaW17gaOiILgCQ&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=malcolm%20bullock%20homosexual&f=false |title=Closet Queens: Some 20th Century British Politicians |author=Michael Bloch |website=Books.google.co.uk |date= |accessdate=2016-07-07}} 10. ^1 2 R.F.
