wives and mothers[edit]

He was the second son of Henry Chetwynd-Talbot, 18th Earl of Shrewsbury and Lady Sarah Elizabeth, the daughter of Henry Beresford, 2nd Marquess of Waterford, by his marriage to Sarah Carpenter where upon he took her surname by royal licence.

This threw me at first but I think it's saying that Sarah Carpenter was Walter's maternal grandmother; is that right? It could be better worded; if nothing else to clarify who took the name Carpenter. Clearly Walter did not change his name upon his grandfather's marriage.

Walter Talbot, later surnamed Carpenter, inherited by Royal license and the required surname change, an Arms from his first wife, the widow Lady Carpenter.

So his first wife was not Maria Georgiana Mundy?? — The mother of the above-mentioned grandmother was Lady Carpenter, but she was also Lady Tyrconnell, a higher title.

It seems that Walter changed his name to inherit Kiplin Hall from the wife of John Carpenter, 4th Earl of Tyrconnell, though he was not related to her by blood. —Tamfang (talk) 01:51, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
