Her archive and family
Material relating to Caroline Maria Graham, http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/manuscripts/search/results_n.cfm?NID=37042&RID=&Y1=&Y2=&M=001

Her husband, the 3rd Duke, was previously known as the Marquis of Graham, a lover of Seymour Fleming, the scandalous Lady Worsley (Rubenhold 2015), who had suffered from a venereal disease which she had contracted from him in 1780.

Her sister-in-law, Lady Susan Gordon, Duchess of Manchester (1774-1828), is mentioned in the "Memoirs of a Highland Lady", under date 1812, that "the Duchess had left home years before with her footmen." Lady Jerningham wrote on 6 September 1813, "The Duchess of Manchester is finally parted from her husband, her conduct being most notoriously bad." https://archive.org/stream/memoirsofhighlan00graniala/memoirsofhighlan00graniala_djvu.txt Tmajoor (talk) 15:31, 11 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I've added a bit about Lady Worsley. Deb (talk) 16:13, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Move inconsistent?
The move to using her maiden name and brackets around her title is inconsistent. The standard for married titled women such as British duchesses would be what this article used to be at, using her married name and a comma before the unbracketed title. Is this part of a bigger change, or just a well-meaning change? (perhaps based on her daughter-in-law who if she was known by her pseudonym would be an exception to that rule) Andrei Iosifovich (talk) 01:00, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
