She was born at Petersham, the daughter of James Graham, 3rd Duke of Montrose, and his wife, the former Lady Caroline Maria Montagu. Her siblings included Lucy Herbert, Countess of Powis, and James Graham, 4th Duke of Montrose.
Her paternal grandparents were William Graham, 2nd Duke of Montrose and the former Lady Lucy Manners (a daughter of John Manners, 2nd Duke of Rutland).
Personal life
She married the earl on 26 July 1814,[1] at Lambeth Palace.[2] They had two children:[3]
- George Finch-Hatton, 11th Earl of Winchilsea (1815–1887)
- Lady Caroline Finch-Hatton (1817–1888), who married Christopher Turnor and had children[4]
After Lady Charlotte's marriage to George, she was called by Fanny Catherine Austen Knight as “a sweet little perfection.”[5]
Her mother, the Duchess of Montrose visited her and George's new home at Kirby Hall. The newly wed settled at Kirby Hall, until her husband inherited Eastwell Park in 1823 from his father, and Haverholme Priory from his uncle in law.
She died at Haverholme Priory in Lincolnshire, a house rebuilt by the earl in 1830 and thereafter used as a family home. She was buried at nearby Ewerby.[6]
