" The marriage seems from the start to have been ill-fated. In July 1831, this paragraph appeared in the Morning Herald:
"Mr. and Lady Caroline Neeld. These distinguished parties, whose union has not turned out as happy as was expected, were united on 1 January of the present year at Warwick Castle in the presence of the nearest connections of the noble bride. The auspicious ceremony ... had not long taken place e'er it was publicly rumoured that if a separation had not already taken place - it was on the eve of being effected."
There followed much washing in public of dirty matrimonial linen, in a series of court cases -- one for restitution of conjugal rights by Lady Caroline, followed six months later by her suit for divorce on the grounds of cruelty. The Wiltshire Gazette headlined the revelations of the Neelds' family life as "The Farce of Low Life above Stairs". Lady Caroline failed in her divorce, but a separation was arranged.
A century later it had come down as a tradition in the Neeld family that the marriage began to break up on that day in January 1831 when Joseph and Lady Caroline arrived back at Grittleton from their honeymoon. She asked the name of the little girl who was playing about the place; he replied that she was Anne Marie Neeld, his natural daughter by a beautiful French woman. Whether or not that really did cause the break-up it is certain that the little girl was brought up at Grittleton."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On his death, in 1856, Joseph left his fortune to his Brother.
13 years later, The Right Honourable Lady Caroline, otherwise Caroline Mary Neeld, died at 26 Upper Brook Street, Grosvenor Square, Mayfair, London, leaving effects to the value of £19-20,000. Using the inflation calculator, that would be over £2million in 2018.
