Overview

Richard Bourke, 6th Earl of Mayo

Richard Bourke, 6th Earl of Mayo was assassinated while inspecting a convict settlement at Port Blair in the Andaman Islands. Robert Bourke, 1st Baron Connemara and Lady Susan Georgiana Ramsay divorced in a sensational case in which she successfully sued for divorce on the grounds of adultery (with her maid Hannah Moore) and cruelty (infecting her with venereal disease).

Blanche, Dowager Countess of Mayo

In 1912, when Blanche, Dowager Countess of Mayo was 86 years old, the Woodford Times summarized her like this:

The Dowager Countess of Mayo and Lady Costance Mure are the only surviving daughters of the first Lord Leconfield, the inheritor of the famous house and estate of Petworth, and consequently aunts of Mr. George Wyndham. Their mother was one of the Blunts, of Crabbet Park, Sussex, which makes them kinswomen of Mr. Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, poet, Egyptophil and counsel for Arabi Pasha is his trial. The Dowager Lady Mayo is the widow — as she has been for forty years past — of the Governor-General of India, who was assassinated while on a tour of the Andamas Islands. Subsequently the Government voted her a pension, which she still enjoys. She was an extra woman of the Bedchamber for over a quarter of a century, and until the death of Queen Victoria. Beside Lord Mayo, her children are the Hon. Algernon Bourke, who was at one time on the Stock Exchange; Lady Eva Wyndham-Quin; Lady Florence Bourke; and the Hon. Terence Bourke, who is British Vice-Consul at Bizerta.

Dermot Bourke, 7th Earl of Mayo

In "An Irish Landlord" the Jersey Evening Post commented patronizingly on the 7th Earl of Mayo:

Lord Mayo is far from being a landlord of the absentee type. A great deal of his time is spent on his Irish estates, and he and Lady Mayo entertainn [sic] a good deal, especially at their seat in County Kildare, Palmerstown, near Straffan. It is remembered against Lord Mayo that during a conference in Dublin on the land question he occupied the chair during the absence of Lord Dunraven, and while writing some notes turned to a colleague and asked how to spell "grievance." The idea of an Irishman being unable to spell that word of all others so tickled his friend that the story became public property. ... There are no children, and the heir-presumptive to the title is Mr. Algernon Bourke, his lordship's brother, and his junior by three years.

Geraldine, Countess of Mayo

In 1904, the Jersey Evening Post described Geraldine, Countess of Mayo as a sportswoman (and as a very pale blonde, echoed by the Tatler echoed 6 years later):

Lady Mayo, who takes a great interest in Irish industries, was a niece of the fifth Lord Bessborough, and married Lord Mayo in 1885. She is of a remarkable type of beauty which suggests a Scandinavian rather than a British origin, her hair being extremely fair and her complexion of that dazzling whiteness which often accompanies flaxen locks. She is a very fine horsewoman, and despite the fact that she has had more than one nasty accident in the hunting field, is a keen rider to hounds.

In 1910, the Tatler published an "open letter" describing her to the Countess of Mayo in their regular "The Searchlight in Society Series":

The Searchlight in Society

Our Open Letter. No. CII. The Countess of Mayo.

MY LADY, — It pleases me to write to you because you are an Irish-woman, for no one can deny that the Celts have a special charm of their own. They are clever, witty, warm-hearted, and most patriotic; in fact, the latter quality is often shown in a way that seems a bit inconvenient. And the women of Ireland with their large eyes, clear skins, soft voices, and charming manners have quite an uncanny amount of bewitchments. As it happens you are Irish all round, by birth, by marriage, and certainly by tastes, pursuits, interests, and amusements.

Well, you were once Miss Geraldine Ponsonby, a daughter of the late Mr. Gerald and Lady Maria Ponsonby, and are a cousin of the present Lord Bessborough. Your young days were spent between Ireland and London, and when a mere girl you made a good marriage and secured as a husband Lord Mayo, a man with houses and lands and a peer in full possession. As it chanced you have no children so there is no direct heir, but you play your part well and in most ways fulfil the duties of your position.

In appearance you are excessively fair with pale flaxen hair (who was it once said, "lint-like hair"?), light blue eyes, and a dead-white complexion. In fact, you are a true Ponsonby, and all of that race seem to belong to the Scandinavian rather than the British type as regards both tints and physiognomy. You are of medium height and rather slender, and have a pleasant animated manner.

Your tastes and pursuits are decidedly varied. Like most Irishwomen you are fond of horses, ride well, and seem never so happy as when holding your own in the hunting field. Also like your countryfolk you are fond of music and have a taste for things artistic. Of course you collect, and in your case this craze takes an interesting form as you collect specimens of lustre ware, and the making of this old gilt ware having now become a lost art the bits that remain are extremely rare and, of course, of great value. Also you care a good deal for old china, which adorns the rooms of your different residences, and, like many women who are fond of art, you have several curious and pretty possessions. One of these is a most beautiful scarf, woven of pure gold, which once belonged to Queen Marie Amélie, consort of Louis Philippe, and that was given by her to Philip Count de Jarnac, then French ambassador at the Court of St. James.

But you have other and far more serious interests. As I said you are intensely Irish, so it maybe guessed that you are keen on home industries and are an enthusiastic supporter of all that concerns "the distressful country." You hold the post of president of the Royal Irish School of Art Needlework and usually have a stall at the annual exhibition on St. Patrick's Day in London; indeed, this school of needlework may be said to owe its existence to your zeal and enterprise. [Col. 1c–2a] It was originally founded by the widowed Lady Cowper when that lady was Vicereine of Ireland, but bad times came, funds were low, and the school was almost closed when the poor workers in their despair induced you to take it in hand and start it on a new foundation. So like a good angel you came to their aid, collected £400, and remodelled the whole business. And you are assisted by a strong committee which includes Lady Grosvenor, Lady Kenmare, and Lady Albreda Bourke. Also you are keen on the Naas rug industry, at which rugs are made on hand looms, and that gives work to many girls in the Naas district.

By the way, your cousin-in-law, Lady Bessborough, is at the head of another noted enterprise. This goes by the name of the Garryhill Industry, and was started by the then Lady Duncannon, who employed no paid teacher but held classes and taught the pupils herself. Now the thing has developed and the girls take an interest in their work, use patterns that are provided, and make careful copies of old needlework.

But now I must return to yourself and your doings. You are the best of good wives, and when Lord Mayo goes off for his fishing in Norway you stay quietly at Palmerstown; in fact, you spend most of the year on your estates in Ireland. And you take an active part in a parish-improvement scheme, the object of which is to raise the standard of thrift, cleanliness, and industry in the homes of the working classes, and with this end in view you have provided two expert teachers who hold classes and give lessons in the arts of domestic life and house management. But in writing all this I do not want it to appear that you are a bit "goody" or "stodgy." You are nothing of the sort, [Col. 2c–3a] but are a bright, clever, amusing Irish-woman. You ride hard, talk well, and seem altogether one of ourselves in your lively ways and modern outlook.

Now, however, I must have my usual candid criticisms. To put the matter in a nutshell I do not think that you do your social duties in Dublin and London. Lord Mayo is not a poor man; he is well-off and prosperous, and you have a house in London in Stratford Place and two fine country houses in Ireland, and yet, bar a few shoots, I never hear of you giving any sort of entertainment. You have no girls to take out, but surely you could give a few dinners and a good concert in London. It seems to me that you are a bit too self-centred. You will soon keep your silver wedding in this year 1910, and why not at least let that be an excuse for some festivities? After all you are Countess of Mayo and you have a good many social obligations. I am all for people doing their duty, but the frivolous side of life must now and then be considered.

Lord Mayo is a good fellow, seventh of his line, and a considerable landowner, with two fine places — one in Meath and the other in Kildare. He was a member of the famous land conference that was held a few years ago. He rides well and is fond of fox-hunting and does his best to promote the industrial and agricultural welfare of Ireland, and he has written books on his favourite subjects, among others, "Sport in Abyssinia" and "The War Cruise of the Aries." He like yourself is a collector, but his fancy is for English china and miniatures.

Lord Mayo is a Knight of St. Patrick and the son of the earl who met his death by assassination. This latter made an eminently successful Viceroy of India but was stabbed by a convict at Port Blair on the Andaman Islands in the year 1872.

I who love a joke must tell one against Lord Mayo. On a certain hot day in August, 1907, a straw sailor hat might have been seen hanging on a peg in the lobby of the House of Lords which the peers use as a cloakroom. Your husband, like most Irish peers, is a bit unconventional.

The Bourkes have brains, and a good example is afforded by Mr. Algernon Bourke, next brother to Lord Mayo and heir-presumptive to the title. He is a good-looking man who used to be known as Buttons Bourke, and he married well, as his wife was the rich and pretty Miss Guendolen Sloane Stanley. He may be described as a "Jack of all trades," but it is not I who will say that he is a master of none. He was once in the Stock Exchange, then he took White's Club in hand and restored it to much of its former prestige. After that he dabbled in smart hotels and restaurants, and the last thing I heard of him was that he kept a curiosity shop at Venice. I remain, my lady, your obedient servant, Candida.

Beresford Hope, M.P.; Lord Stalbridge, Sir Peter Lumsden, Sir Owen Burne, Colonel Nigel Kingscote, Hon. Percy Wyndham, Mr. Henry Doyle, Mr. George Batten, Mr. E. Lawson, the Right Hon.

The following is the inscription at foot of the monument:— "Sacred to the memory of Richard South [sic] well Bourke, Earl of Mayo, and for nearly four years Viceroy of India. He discharged the duties of his high office with conspicuous ability. Wise, kindly, just, and energetic, he won the affection of those about him, and the respect of neighbouring Princes; his work for his God and his Queen thus begun was laid aside when, struck down, alas! by the hand of assassin, he yielded up his soul to Christ on the 8th of February, 1872."

1881 July 14, Thursday afternoon, beginning about 2 p.m., members of the family of the Earl of Mayo were invited to a Garden Party at Marlborough House hosted by Albert Edward, Prince of Wales and Alexandra, Princess of Wales. Algernon Bourke was also among the 1,500 or so invited guests.

1882 July 13, Thursday, members from the family of the Earl of Mayo were invited to the Garden Party at Marlborough House for Queen Victoria hosted by the Albert Edward, Prince of Wales and Alexandra, Princess of Wales. The more than 1,000 people invited also included Algernon Bourke.

1889 June 8, Saturday, Dermot, Earl of Mayo contributed some art he owned to the collection of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water-Colours' exhibition of "the works of the 'English Humourists in Art.'"

1890s

1890 November 27, Robert Bourke, 1st Baron Connemara and Lady Susan Georgiana Ramsay divorced in a sensational case in which she successfully sued for divorce on the grounds of adultery (with her maid Hannah Moore) and cruelty (infecting her with venereal disease). This story is repeated essentially verbatum in a number of newspapers.

1892 March 5, Saturday, two generations of men of the Bourke family are mentioned in this article reporting on "the first reverse" in Capt. the Hon. Maurice Bourke's career. Notable is that the Bourkes were "one of the first aristocratic families of which the members took to the Stock Exchange."

Capt. the Hon. Maurice Bourke, who has just been reprimanded in connection with the stranding of the Victoria, is the brother of the present Lord Mayo, and comes of an enterprising family. The Bourkes have pushed their way with remarkable energy in various professions, but are specially noticeable as one of the first aristocratic families of which the members took to the Stock Exchange. Before the Bourkes took it up the "house" was at a discount in Belgravia; it is now at a premium. Both Mr. Henry Bourke and Major Edward Bourke, uncles of Captain Bourke, and Mr. Algernon Bourke, his brother, have reaped considerable incomes as the fruits of their enterprise. Captain Bourke has been singularly lucky In the navy in the matter of promotion, being one of those fortunate mariners who have served on the Queen's yacht. This is the first reverse in his career.

1902 October 25, Saturday, the Kildare Observer reported on the will of Robert Bourke, who had died 3 September 1902:

The will bears date July 18th, 1899, with codicils of the 2nd January and 27th September, 1900 Robert Bourke, first Baron Connemara, of 43 Grosvenor street and of Furness Abbey, County Kildare, P C and G C I E, M P for Galway 1868–'86. Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs 1874–80 and 1885–6, and Governor of Madras 1886–90, who died on the 3rd September last, aged 75 years. He was son of the fifth Earl of Mayo. The late Lord Connemara’s estate has been valued at £33,463 3s 2d gross and £32,924 16s 7d net, and the sole executor of his will is Mr Robert Charles Ponsonby, of 4 Clements Inn, solicitor, to whom he bequeathed £100; to his brother, General the Hon John Jocelyn Bourke, £1,000; to his nephews, Captain the Hon Maurice Bourke, the Hon Algernon Henry Bourke, and the Hon Terence Theobald Bourke, £500; to his niece, Eva Constance, wife of Major Wyndham-Quin, M P, £500; to his sister-in-law, Lady Albreda Bourke, widow of his brother, the Hon Charles Fowler Bourke, £500; and to servants each one year’s wages; to his servant, Henry, £5O; and to his housekeeper, with other things, his Chesterfield sofa and his blue sofa with the cushion. The executors are to sell the testator’s horses and carriages, and he bequeathed his brother, the Hon Ed Roden Bourke his personal jewellery, his large two-handled cup, and other effects. He bequeathed to his nephew Maurice his pig-sticking picture, and to his nephew Lord Mayo his books and photographs, the two-handled silver gift cup given to him by his wife as a marriage present, the silver cup won by the polo team of his staff in India, the trowels and address cases presented to him in India, and other articles collected there.

Algernon Bourke, who usually lives in Venice, has spent some time in England during the present summer, and has now gone on a fishing expedition to Sweden, accompanied by his brother, Lord Mayo. Lady Mayo has been staying meanwhile in Ireland, and has had a visit from her mother, Lady Maria Ponsonby, who is a sister of Lend Obventry.

1908 August 5, Emma Mary Augusta Hatch Bourke and Edward Hyde Villiers, 5th Earl of Clarendon married.

1909 May 22, Saturday, Algernon Bourke appears to have been living in Pisa. A columnist for the Queen reported on the Royal School of Art Needlework:

Lady Leconfield [?] was there, also her sister-in-law, the Dowager Lady Mayo, only just back from her winter on the Continent, when she spent most of the time at Pisa, where her son Mr Algernon Bourke has also been staying. The latter is a great connoisseur as regards [art?] notably in what is really good in the way of old Italian sculpture and carving. He and his handsome wife have a place near to Putney, and this winter again Mr Bourke, as the result of his Italian travels, has been sending home such relics of the old Italian palace gardens as as stone and marble carved vases, garden seats, and what-not of the kind — not all for himself and his own gardens by any means, I fancy; but his friends, relying on his knowledge in such matters, get him when abroad to choose for [them?] the adornment of their English terraces and gardens.
