Biography
Ann Evelyn, also known as Anne, was born into the ancient Evelyn family.[1] She was the daughter of James Evelyn (1718 –1793) and his second wife Jane Cust (1725-1791). A painting by George Romney depicting her was owned by descendent the Lord Steward Cecil George Savile, 4th Earl of Liverpool.[2]
She was killed in a fire involving a gown in 1791.[3] This meant that on his death James Evelyn's other daughter Julia would inherit his entire estates at Buxted Park and Felbridge.[4] In order to inherit she and her husband George Shuckburgh-Evelyn took on the name Evelyn, which became Shuckburgh-Evelyn.[5] This was completed by a private act of Parliament, Shuckburgh's Name Act 1794 (34 Geo. 3. c. 45 Pr.).[5]
Her niece Julia Shuckburgh-Evelyn, the Countess of Liverpool, was married to Charles Jenkinson.[6]
