Biography

Harriette (Trench) Guinness was born in Ireland.

Harriette Le Poer Trench was born on 13 May 1812. She was the only daughter of William Le Poer Trench and Sarah Cuppage. She was the granddaughter of William Power Keating Trench, 1st Earl of Clancarty (b. 1741, d. 1805).

Sadly her mother Sarah died on 30 January 1834.

Harriette married Reverend William Newton Guinness (the son of William Guinness and Susanna Newton) on 31 March 1835. Notice of their marriage was printed on page 3 of the Dublin Evening Packet and Correspondent dated 2 April 1835:

MARRIAGE.

March 31, at Loughrea Church, by the Rev. John Le Poer Trench, the Rev. William Newton Guinness, only son of William Lunnell Guinness Esq., Mountjoy-square, the city of Dublin, to Harriette, only daughter of the Hon. William Le Poer Trench, Dalystown, in the county Galway.^[1]

They had a son William Trench (b. 2 Nov 1836, d. 8 Feb 1918) and two daughters Sarah "Zara" Anne Newton (b. abt. 18 Jun 1838, d. 12 May 1883) and Harriet Ellen (b. 28 Nov 1839, d. 22 Jan 1931).

Sadly Harriette Le Poer Guinness died suddenly on about 28 November 1839, four years after her marriage (perhaps in or soon after childbirth; her youngest daughter Harriet was born on 28 November 1839). Notice of her death was printed on page 2 of the Southern Reporter and Cork Commercial Courier dated 17 December 1839:

Suddenly, at Ardcotton Rectory, county Sligo, Hariette, wife of Rev. W. N. Guinness, Rector of Ballysodaire, and only daughter of Rear Admiral the Hon. W. Le Poer Trench. ^[2]
