George Grey (14 Jul 1866-3 Feb 1911) and Charles Grey (23 Aug 1873-28 Sep 1928),
brothers of Sir Edward Grey, 3rd baronet and 1st and only Viscount Grey of Fallodon
Two of Viscount Grey's brothers died as a result of being attacked by wild animals in East
Africa. 
In 1911, George Grey, while on a visit to East Africa, went stalking lions which had been raiding
a camp near the homestead belonging to Sir Alfred Pease [2nd baronet] near the Athi River
[near Nairobi in Kenya] when he was attacked by a lion, which inflicted severe lacerations upon
him. One report states that "one of the beasts caught and mangled him as a cat does a 
mouse." He was rescued with difficulty and, although it was at first thought that he would
recover, he died a few days later in Nairobi Hospital.
His brother, Charles Grey, met a similar fate when he died of wounds inflicted by a buffalo. His
obituary was published in 'The Times' on 3 October 1928:-
'Mr. Charles Grey.....had spent much time, since 1903 in that country [Tanganyika, now 
Tanzania]. He was there in August, 1914, and on hearing the news of the outbreak of war rode
500 miles on an ordinary bicycle to reach the nearest place where he could get into the fighting. 
He joined a company of the King's African Rifles in East Africa as a lieutenant. Shortly after-
wards, in an engagement against a very superior force of Germans, he was severely wounded in
the left hand and forearm. Only first aid was available, and Mr. Grey had to walk 22 miles to 
Kisumu, the nearest place where he could obtain surgical treatment. There his arm was 
amputated 6 in. below the shoulder, and when he had sufficiently recovered he returned to 
England, where he underwent two further operations. In the following year he went back to 
Africa and joined General [Edward] Northey's army, serving under him on the Intelligence Staff
till the end of the War, being mentioned in despatches and receiving the Military Cross. He
became an expert shot with a rifle, in spite of the loss of his arm, and his death was the result 
of injuries that he received from a wounded buffalo while he was hunting in Tanganyika, 
accompanied only by four of his native servants. He was a man of singular integrity, courage, 
and charm, and greatly loved by every one who knew him.'
Sir Robert Grierson, 1st baronet and the "Wigtown Martyrs"
By 1685, Scotland had endured a century of sectarian dissension. The crofters had clung to 
the "National Covenant," a movement associated with the development of Presbyterianism
as a form of church government which was favoured by the people, as opposed to the 
concept of Episcopacy, which was favoured by the Crown, and which is a religion that is a 
member of the Anglican communion.
The Covenanters believed that they were bound by the National Covenant of 1638 to resist all
encroachments upon the religion of Presbyterianism, whereas the Stuart kings were equally
adamant that the Church of Scotland should have a hierarchy of bishops in the same way as 
the Church of England. Passive resistance and sporadic rebellions by the crofters had led to 
the ejection of non-conforming preachers from their churches. As a result, the people would 
often follow their preachers into the countryside to hold their religious services in the open air
at "conventicles" which were forbidden. The climax came with the imposition of the Abjuration
Oath, whereby all who refused to swear allegiance both to the King and to the Episcopacy
were likely to lose their homes, their crops, their freedom and even their lives.
The countryside was full of spies and informers who set neighbour against neighbour and town
against country. The south-west of Scotland rang to the curses of the crofters against the 
hated sheriffs, and in particular against John Graham of Claverhouse (the 1st Viscount Dundee)
and Sir Robert Grierson, 1st baronet and Laird of Lag (and the model for Sir Walter Scott's 
'Sir Robert Redgauntlet' in 'Wandering Willie's Tale,' which forms a story within a story in his
historical novel 'Redgauntlet.')
It was in this atmosphere that Margaret, Thomas and Agnes Wilson grew up in the parish of
Penningham in Wigtownshire in the south-west of Scotland. Although their parents were 
staunch Episcopalians, the surrounding wilds were a Covenanting stronghold. Consequently,
it was not strange that the children should be enticed to the open-air services of the
Covenanters. With the religious fanaticism of youth, the children deserted Episcopacy for
Presbyterianism and fled from Penningham for a hand-to-mouth existence in the mountains,
bogs and caves of Galloway. Here they lived with other fanatical Covenanters as fugitives
while the mounted troopers of Graham and Grierson rode the hills persecuting the crofters and
breaking up conventicles by force.
Starvation drove the two girls back to Wigtown in February 1685 and they sought sanctuary 
with a man named Patrick Stuart. It was an unfortunate choice, since he was to betray them. 
As one of the sheriff's informers, he tested the girls by proposing a toast to the King. They 
refused to honour the persecutor of the Covenanters and Stuart, greedy for a reward, called 
in the soldiers. The girls were lodged in the "Thieve's Hole" at Wigtown, where they met an old
widow named Margaret MacLachlan, whose crime was holding a conventicle at her house the 
previous Sunday. Probably with the aid of torture, the three women were pressed to take the
Abjuration Oath, but they refused to recant their beliefs and in desperation it was decided to 
bring them to trial.
At their trial, the judges were Sir Robert Grierson and his deputy sheriff, David Graham, brother
of John Graham of Claverhouse. Associated with them on the bench were two 'yes-men' named
Major Windram and Captain Strachan. They were charged with refusing the Abjuration Oath, 
with attending 25 field conventicles and 20 house conventicles, and with being involved in the 
rebellions of Bothwell Brig and Airds Moss over five years previously. These last two charges
were patently ridiculous - Bothwell Brig had been fought on 22 June 1679 and Airds Moss on
22 July 1680, when the girls would have been around twelve and seven years old.
Nevertheless, they refused to plead not guilty and the blood-crazed bench imposed the harsh 
sentences of drowning at the stake.
Margaret and Agnes Wilson's father, who had already been heavily fined because of the 
actions of his daughters, hurried to Edinburgh to seek clemency. Here he managed to bail out 
Agnes for £100, but only on the condition that she be produced as required when the 
execution date was fixed. He immediately smuggled the child away, forfeited the bond, and in 
the subsequent clamour of protest over the harsh sentences, succeeded in winning her a 
reprieve. His pleas for the 18-year-old Margaret, however, fell on deaf ears, while the fanatical
girl made things worse for herself by refusing to retract in any way or plead for pardon.
The inhuman sentences, however, were not allowed to pass without protest. Friends drafted
a petition for clemency for both the widow and the girl in terms of pathetic servility but it
failed to touch the hearts of Grierson or Graham. The Scottish Privy Council frittered away
the time and it was 30 April before it decided, in a half-hearted fashion, to delay the execution
until His Majesty's pleasure be known.
In the meantime Grierson and his henchmen had fixed the drowning date as 11 May. It is not 
known whether the Privy Council's provisional reprieve ever reached Wigtown, or if so, whether
it was so loosely and inadequately worded that the executioners thought they could ignore
or even destroy it. All that is certain is that on 11 May the two Margarets were led from the
Wigtown Tollbooth to the Bladenoch, an arm of the Solway Firth, into which the waters rushed 
in a great wall at high tide. Hundreds of people straggled behind the procession - some 
weeping, some cursing the soldiers, some merely regarding it as a morbid form of 
entertainment.
Once arrived, the two women were chained to their stakes, with the widow MacLachlan's
stake being placed in such a position that she would drown first. The tide was already on
the turn and the wall of water could be seen rolling up the firth. In a short while the water
reached Margaret MacLachlan and quickly rose above her head. The water then began to
rise up Margaret Wilson's body, when the soldiers rushed into the water and dragged her free.
But this was merely to give her one last chance to take the Abjuration Oath. The crowd
pleaded with her to say "God save the King," which would have been sufficient to win her a
reprieve, but she replied, "God save him, if He will." On hearing this the crowd shouted that 
this was close enough, but Grierson would have none of it, instructing Major Windram to
force her to say the Abjuration Oath, but she cried out that she would not.
At a sign from Grierson, one of the troopers thrust his halberd at her throat and pushed her
under the water, saying, "Tak anither drink, hinny. Go gossip with the stobs [crabs]." In a
few minutes the young girl had drowned, and the crowd drifted away.
A few years later, under the new King, William III, the religious freedom of Scotland was 
recognised, but the simple crofters never forgot the two drowned women. To this day a
memorial stone marks the original site of the drownings.
The event has entered into local folklore - for example, it is said that for many years there-
after a broken man wandered the streets of Wigtown. He always carried a large jar of water 
with him, since he was inflicted with an unquenchable thirst. The man, who was both loathed
and pitied, was said to have been the soldier who urged Margaret Wilson to "tak anither drink."
Sir Edward Ion Beresford Grogan, 2nd baronet
From the London "Telegraph" of 13 July 1927:-
 
'Colonel Sir Edward Ion Beresford Grogan, Bt., C.M.G., D.S.O., was on Monday found fatally 
wounded, with a revolver in his hand, at his home, Shropham Hall, near Norwich. Sir Edward,
who was 54 years of age, succeeded his father, the first baronet, in 1891. He was a lieutenant-
colonel in the Rifle Brigade (Prince Consort's Own), and, as a General Staff officer, served in
the South African War, in which he was mentioned in despatches. From 1911 to 1914 he was
Military Attaché to the South American Republics. He won the D.S.O. in the Great War, during
which he was attached to the 28th Division in Salonika, being later appointed to G.H.Q. of that
force. He was with the British Military Mission in Siberia 1918-1919. He married in 1907 Elhnor
Flora Bosworth, daughter of the late Mr. Reginald Bosworth Smith, and widow of Sir Harry
Langhorne Thompson, K.C.M.G. His father, Sir Edward Grogan, the first baronet, was M.P. For
Dublin from 1841 to 1865. There is no heir to the baronetcy.
'At the inquest Lady Grogan said her husband served on the General Staff during most of the 
war, but since his return from Siberia he had not been really well, and in 1924 he underwent a
serious operation. During the last three weeks his condition became gradually worse, and he 
told her often he wished his sufferings were over.
'Dr. Keeling, of Attleborough, said that Sir Edward asked him last Thursday if he could hasten
the end. In his opinion, Sir Edward's mind became unhinged owing to his long illness.
'The coroner (Mr. W.G. Barnard) returned a verdict that Sir Edward died from injuries to the
head casuded by firing a revolver into his mouth while his mind was unhinged through pain due
to a long illness.'
Frances Rose, Lady Gunning, widow of Sir Henry John Gunning, 4th baronet
Sir Henry Gunning, 4th baronet, married as his second wife in October 1878, Frances Rose
Churchill. At the time of this marriage, Sir Henry was nearly 81, and his new wife, at about
36, was 45 years younger. Frances was the daughter of the Rev. William Henry Churchill, 
Rector of Great Houghton in Northamptonshire.
In September 1895, Lady Gunning was charged with forgery and tried at the Old Bailey. The
following report is taken from the Cardiff 'Western Mail' of 11 September 1895:-
'At the Old Bailey on Tuesday (before Sir Forrest Fulton) Lady Frances Rose Gunning [sic - 
her correct styling would have been Frances Rose, Lady Gunning], aged 53, described as of
no occupation, pleaded guilty to certain counts of an indictment, which charged her with
forgery.  To other counts she pleaded not guilty. Mr. Horace Avory, with Mr. Biron, appeared
for the prosecution, and Mr. Holloway defended the accused.
'Mr. Avory stated the case for the prosecution at length, recapitulating the evidence already
given at the police-court. He said prisoner had pleaded guilty to a series of indictments,
ranging from the year 1892 down to the present time. She had, in fact, obtained large sums
of money by forging the name of her father, who was a country clergyman, living at
Northampton, and she had also forged the name of one her father's churchwardens. She also
leased a club at Kensington, in which she induced young women to invest capital, and one 
young lady, who let her have £1,300, had been rendered penniless. Another young lady 
invested £2,000 in shares in the club, but received none. The total sum obtained by the
accused on account of this club was £8,601, whereas the books accounted for only £828,
and, in addition, prisoner had handed forged bills to tradesmen to cover her debts.
'Her father had already paid large sums for her to avoid exposure, but had now put his foot
down. Mr. Avory, concluding, said documents had been found showing that Lady Gunning
had been engaged in betting on horses. Mr. Holloway, in extenuation, asked his lordship to
consider the degradation his client had already suffered. She had not expended her money in
gambling, but had had financial reverses, which brought her into the hands of money-lenders,
thus occasioning her downfall. Her character hitherto had been irreproachable, and possibly
his lordship under all the circumstances might order her release. Sir Robert [sic for Forrest]
Fulton said that was impossible. 
'Several persons who had known Lady Gunning many years gave evidence as to character,
among them being clergymen from Northampton, Rutland, and other parts. Accused, who spoke
with great emotion, said many of her actions had been misrepresented. She could only ask for
mercy. Sir Forrest Fulton said: Lady Gunning had, undoubtedly, held a very high and influential 
position, but, unfortunately, she embarked on an undertaking to carry out which she resorted
to systematic forgery. He must pass what to her would be a severe sentence in order to deter
others from doing likewise. He sentenced her to twelve months' hard labour.'
