Marchioness Townshend & Maude Ffoulkes
True Ghost Stories
Some kind of sympathy must exist between the Townshend family and the world of ghosts, as when Lord George Osborne, second son of the then Duchess of Leeds (nee Lady Charlotte Townshend), was killed at Oxford in 1831, Mrs George Portal, Lady Anne Townshend's niece, saw George Osborne pass through the room where she was sitting. Mrs Portal spoke to him but he did not answer, and the servants declared that neither Lord George nor anyone answering to his description, had entered the house. But on the morrow word came of the fatal accident which Lord George had met with at the moment when he had been seen by Mrs. Portal.
