Talk:Lady Susan Hamilton

Date of divorce
We say she divorced in 1850, but also that: "Divorce proceedings frequently dragged on for years, so that Susan was unable to get remarried for a full decade afterwards." What was the actual date her divorce came into effect? It is particularly critical because her (ex-)husband succeeded as 5th Duke of Newcastle in 1851, so if the divorce did not come into effect until after that then she would have been Duchess of Newcastle (and then Susan, Duchess of Newcastle, until her remarriage). If the divorce was before then, she was only ever Countess of Lincoln. Proteus (Talk) 10:13, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
